We were members of the same church years ago and only knew OF each other/hadn't ever talked to one another. Although Shawn was a member of a different church, she remained in contact with the Pastor of her former church. At a business event, Pastor (who Angelo calls Dad) sees Shawn and asks if she was dating anyone. When Shawn says No, Pastor suggests that she and Angelo connect through social media and just talk because "the two of you have a lot in common." Shawn reached out to Angelo through Facebook and their first phone conversation was 4 hours long. They were in different states at the time and hadn't seen each other in person in almost 10 years. Their first in-person date was weeks later after talking daily and Angelo says "She had me at hello." They have been inseparable ever since.
