Donna and Brad lived right around the corner from each other when growing up in Itasca, Illinois but they didn’t meet until high school.  They spent their summer months indirectly working with one another at the Itasca Pool, Brad as a lifeguard, and Donna a summer camp counselor. Although they would never admit it to one another, they both looked forward to the days the summer camp would be at the pool; somewhat to add excitement to the day, but more so that they could flirt with one another.  Little did they know that their summertime flirting would lay the ground work for a relationship 10 years later.  It wasn’t until after college that Brad and Donna began dating.  Brad received a call from his friend, (and Donna’s brother) Steve, suggesting the two of them date.  Unfortunately for Steve, Brad took him up on the suggestion.  Their first date, along with many others, was in 2011 at Tree Guys, the only bar in Itasca. After three years of dating, Brad proposed to Donna on the waterfront in Ephraim, a small town in Door County, Wisconsin. About a year later they were married on June 20, 2015 at Pink Shell Beach Resort. They chose to have a destination wedding because both of them love to travel, especially to sunny and beautiful Florida. Many family members and friends traveled to share in this special day with them. Brad and Donna are looking forward to a lifetime of happiness together!
