Shannon and AJ met on October 3rd, 2015 through their beloved friend Timo. What began as a friendship, built on shared laughter, deep conversations, and mutual respect, soon blossomed into something more beautiful than either could have imagined. As the years passed, their bond only grew stronger, each moment spent together deepening their connection. But some love stories are meant to unfold in their own time. In September of 2021, the moment arrived when their hearts could no longer deny what had been there all along. In September 2024, they set off on yet another unforgettable journey, this time to Rome — a city known for its timeless beauty and romance. In the heart of the Eternal City, on the roof of the Pontifical North American College, high above the bustling streets, with a breathtaking view of St. Peter’s Basilica, AJ sealed the deal — the moment forever captured in time. And so, they began planning a future together, knowing that the bond they shared — rooted in friendship, strengthened by time, and deepened by love — would carry them through whatever life may bring. Now, we invite you to join us in celebrating the love that has grown over the last decade — a love that started as a friendship, evolved into a partnership, and will last for a lifetime.
