The Happy Couple

Jansen

Jansen's Perspective

If you asked Jansen back in Highschool what she thought of Danny, she would have said, “I could marry him, he could be the one!” Jansen met Danny as a freshman in Highschool, and they became instant friends! Jansen had always had a crush on Danny, and as time continued he was persistent that he didn’t want that kind of commitment even though he seemed to be crushing on her too. So as any girl would, she moved on and moved away—sometime later after experiencing more love, and more loss then anyone could imagine, it was nice for Jansen to visit for the holidays and enjoy the company and support of old friends. It was no surprise how easy it was to fall back into the same friendship they once had, as they say, “No matter the time apart, best friends can pick up right where they left off.” What was a shock was how quickly she fell in love.

Danny

Danny's Perspective

When Danny first met Jansen he was immediately infatuated with this outgoing, beautiful, bubbly, fun sized girl. He knew that he wanted to spend as much time as possible with her. As young boys in high school are though he had eyes for every girl, and unfortunately didn’t realize the greatness right in front of him. As time passed they still kept in contact off and on, and Danny was reminded of Jansen’s spark. Danny will never forget a road trip Jansen was taking from Colorado to California, she made it a point to stop at the service station he worked at on they way. He recalls how beautiful she still was and how she hadn’t changed at all from the first day they met. He said, “Denver looks good on you. You are glowing.” This still wasn’t their time, as she had other things in mind. But a few years later, and a trip back home over the holidays was all it took for the two to rekindle the fire that wanted to burn and they found it easy to fall in love.

Our Love Story

Jansen and Danny met in high school and immediately hit it off, having many of the same interests it was easy for friendship to bloom. As they grew up, they got busy, Jansen went to away to college and Danny started working full time. Then one visit home for the holidays Jansen and Danny remembered how much fun they used to have together, they spent the whole week together, going to Jazz games, Christmas shopping, and attending ugly sweater parties. Three months later Danny decided to move to Denver. Jansen and Danny dated for 3 years before getting engaged at Harry Potter World in Universal Studios, Orlando Florida. Jansen and Danny say making love last is easy with your best friend. They have enjoyed travel, video games, fantasy, comics, and Raising fur babies together and are excited to continue their adventure of Happily Ever After on September 30, 2017.
