Elizabeth and Daniel like to say that their story actually began on February 22, 1999. Eighteen hours earlier on February 21st, Daniel was born. He started the next day of life just relaxing in the baby nursery in his bassinet when a cute girl with a lot of attitude arrived in the bassinet beside him. Though no one can quite remember, we feel certain that coos and eye contact must have been exchanged because something shifted in the universe that day.

Fast forward to New Year's Eve of 2019. Liz and Dan met again on this day and established a friendship. Though they both were destined to return to college in either Fort Worth or Knoxville, they seemed to have a connection worth exploring further. Their relationship grew slowly as phone conversations followed, and little did they know the opportunity that life was about to present.

While sharing spring break in Knoxville in March of 2020, news spread that the world was shutting down. Everyone was to return home and isolate to prevent the spread of COVID. Fate was putting Elizabeth and Daniel back in Collierville with few to no distractions to separate them. From here, the love story starts to bloom. Days are spent together with the dogs, traveling, swimming, and playing board games with family. This connection grew into love and excitement for their future together.

On June 11, 2023, Daniel took Elizabeth to lunch and returned her home. Before departing, they went out beside the backyard pool, and there, Daniel proposed. It was in this very spot that they first declared their love for each other years earlier. Here, they chose to start the next phase of their lives together.

Daniel and Elizabeth are so excited to see what the future holds for them, and they look forward to starting this next step in their journey on June 8th.
