Dana and her mother, Kimberly, had very different wedding styles; she still teases her about the hat that she wore to her big day in 1987. Her father's fraternity brothers performed a special dance at the reception that culminated with mooning all of the guests! They couldn't have anticipated that decades later, choreographed surprise wedding dances would become mainstream on YouTube.
In addition to inheriting her mother's blonde hair and brown eyes, Dana tells us they're both social butterflies, and when it comes to planning trips or vacations, they handle all of the coordinating. Growing up, Dana's father often had to travel for work, and her mom juggled caring for three kids and studying for her real estate licensing exam. "She loves and supports us kids wholeheartedly in anything that we do. This model of strength and independence has helped me become the woman that I am today," Dana says.
The best marriage advice she received? "Never go to bed angry!"
