Jordan was the bartender at the restaurant where Dani waited tables, but they didn't realize how special they were going to be to each other at the time. "Everything clicked like we had known each other our whole lives," Dani gushes. Las Vegas was their annual vacation spot, so Jordan took the opportunity to propose while Dani admired the fountains in front of the Bellagio.
Dani admits, "I had shown Jordan pictures of my dream ring for a while leading up to the engagement. A rose gold band, with a fiery opal at the center surrounded by a diamond halo." Despite Jordan finding the perfect ring, the opal was too soft of a gem, and the surface got scratched shortly after they were engaged. Instead of continuing to replace her stone for years to come, Dani and Jordan decided to swap it out with morganite.
Knowing they wanted to have their engagement photos taken in the fall, they immediately began looking for a photographer. Jordan went to school with Ariana, so the happy couple thought of her right away. "I took a look at her work online and knew that we would be in great hands and she would kill it," Dani raves. "She did not disappoint! I am still swooning over our pictures!"
Dani was well-equipped to begin planning their wedding. "It's every girl's dream to plan her perfect wedding, am I right? I made a Pinterest board back in the early days of our relationship knowing I would be planning for our wedding for real someday," Dani shares. A week after the engagement, they started planning for a beautiful fall wedding. Unfortunately, Jordan got into a terrible car accident and derailed their planning. While he heals, they are enjoying their time together without the pressure of wedding planning.
