Four years ago, a couple of tattooed Ozzy fans had a chance encounter under rather unlikely circumstances: Danielle Flores, 32, and Allen Horvath, 34, met at an All-American Rejects concert in New Jersey. “I had taken my 13-year-old daughter, and he took his 13-year-old nephew,” says Danielle. The chaperones hit it off immediately despite the less-than-ideal soundtrack (their teenage charges would later serve as maid of honor and best man at their wedding). Two years later, Allen proposed at the Rockefeller Center ice rink. They wed at the palatial Oheka Castle, a Long Island estate built in 1919, but the affair was very much their own—right down to the inked-up cake. The duo’s most memorable moment was their first dance, set to “Tangled Up in You” by Staind. “It was only the second time we had ever slow-danced,” says Danielle. “I got dizzy because we don’t know how—we just held onto each other and kept on spinning.”
