Adam and Danielle, who wed in April 2006, had the sweetest love story before they expanded their family. The couple first crossed paths in 2003, when they both were making a living by working at Target in their hometown of Lake Charles, Louisiana. After getting to know each other, Adam asked Danielle out for a date, but he ended up canceling on the day of. Luckily, they rescheduled and it was worth it because sparks were flying. Two years later, Adam proposed to his now-wife on Christmas eve, making it a very special holiday for the pair.
