On a fateful day in April 2017, in a boardroom in downtown Toronto, Shannon & Aaron had their first interaction. Shannon was on her first work trip up to the Canadian business she worked on, and during an executive presentation she was making she was hit by what Aaron thought was a curveball question from the President of the company, and her response cemented in Aaron's mind that she was the one. In true Shannon style, she took it with her bubbly smile and responded "excellent question" & proceeded to wow everyone in the room, but none more than Aaron. Later that night, with John & Lisa Stubbings in town visiting from Brisbane, after wrapping up dinner with his parents, he rode to meet the work group for their nightcap and beelined for Shannon to let her know how great he thought she was, and while the work trip was wrapping up & Shannon heading back to Boston, the groundwork for what was to come had been laid. Following that was some back & forth between the two in advance of a trip for Aaron to meet some friends from Brisbane in Boston, where a casual "if you're around, it would be great to catch up" was dropped by Aaron, and much to his excitement, Shannon was in. Sparks continued to fly that weekend, and following that, the pair decided on a 'mega-date' weekend in Toronto & Niagara-on-the-Lake shortly thereafter. This started the long distance, international relationship between the couple, and the the first of many weekends visiting each other in their cities & surrounds, all the while mutually dreaming of a future 'hut-life' consisting of them living carefree in a hut in paradise. Since then, Shannon made the move north to Toronto where they have made a beautiful home, and they have had their hut-life many times over on adventures locally and abroad, and are now gearing up for the next chapter of their adventure through life together back where it all began on that fateful mega-date, and they can't wait to share the magic of that place with you.
