This Groom proposed to his girlfriend and they both got married that same day

Your wedding may be the most amazing day of your life, but for some, the stress of planning the big day can be way too hard to handle. So much goes into making sure everything goes to plan. From the food, to the invitations, and let’s not forget about finding the right dress too! Well, this is the story of a New York man who proposed to his beloved bride-to-be and married her all in one night. It was a surprise he had been planning for months, ensuring that she got the perfect wedding for the perfect bride, but without all of the negative stress that comes with the planning… Was this a match made in heaven? Or did he overstep the line?

In love

Danny Rios and his darling girlfriend Nicole were utterly head over heels in love with each other. They had been dating for a number of years now, and marriage was something definitely in the pipeline for them – just when the time was right.

Danny and Nicole were, in some ways, the perfect couple. They supported one another through ups and downs, thick and thin, and they wanted to dedicate their lives to each other forever.

A life-changing condition

Their love was incredibly strong, and their loved ones could see how perfect they were each other. There was only one thing left to do for Danny, and that was to propose. However, Danny had to be cautious of making sure the proposal went smoothly, and that was because of Nicole’s health.

She had been diagnosed with Lupus, an autoimmune disease that causes severe pain-inducing symptoms, including skin rashes, swollen joint pain, and extreme prolonged tiredness. This meant Nicole’s health and wellbeing always came first, and Danny was always by her side, caring for her when she most needed him.

A thoughtful gesture

There is no cure for Lupus, and the symptoms of the disease are made worse when the body is put under significant stress. This meant Nicole and boyfriend Danny always had to ensure that their lives were as stress-free as possible.

However, what’s one of the most stressful life events? Well, planning a wedding of course! Danny worried about this deeply. He didn’t want Nicole to suffer while planning their wedding, and so to avoid the inevitable flaring up of her symptoms, he made a plan to cut out all of the demanding and taxing preparations for Nicole. But what was the plan?

Secret planning

He decided to plan a surprise party that could act as both an engagement party and a wedding all in one. First would come the proposal, and then if Nicole agreed, the two would tie the know right there and then in front of all their friends and family.

The couple lived in Smithtown, New York, and their home together had a great backyard for a tent to be erected. Having a party in the backyard was something Nicole always said she wanted to do, whether it was a birthday party or engagement party…But now it was going to be a surprise wedding!
