Melody and Danny met through one of her co-workers and Danny’s sister in law. Melody said, “Danny knew we were going to get married on our third date, when we grabbed bagels and took them to Port Washington to eat breakfast by the water. It took me until about our fifth date, when Danny took me to dinner in Long Beach knowing how much I loved the beach. I still had nothing invested in the date, so I threw off my heels and ran straight towards the ocean. And Danny, not missing a beat, chased right after me. I knew I would marry him when I saw him laughing even though he was drenched and cold.”
In December as a 6 month anniversary gift Danny booked a weekend in the Hamptons for the couple to go enjoy in March. Melody arrived at his apartment the morning they were supposed to head out, and Danny asked her to go into his bedroom to grab his wallet. When she walked in she saw the room decorated with about 50 picture frames filled with pictures of all their milestones and memories. There were flowers and candles everywhere. Before he got down on one knee, they looked at all the pictures, and danced to “their” song in the middle of the bedroom. This small detail your about to read will explain why Melody was thrown off before he actually asked her to marry him. Danny did a psych-out proposal about 3 weeks before he actually proposed. He took her to the restaurant where they had shared their first date. Danny placed a ring box on the table during dessert but the ring box contained a necklace. Luckily for him, melody has a sense of humor and thought it was funny, but it also made her think this was just another romantic moment and not a proposal!
A special thanks to Melody & Danny for sharing your special day with us!
