We crossed paths more times than we even knew before we OFFICIALLY met. Shawn was even in the background of a picture Annalisa took on her high school senior cut day in 2009…yet didn’t even know each other existed. Then, 10 years later…he was in the background of another picture… again! Fast forward to that summer, and that is when we officially met, thanks to a mutual and very good friend Adrian. Adrian told each of us that the other would be a great fit together, so once he introduced us, the rest fell into place! We started dating in December of 2019, (barely) survived a global pandemic, shared many laughs, lots of fun trips, countless comedy shows and late night men's league hockey games together; and the rest as they say, is history! Fast forward 5 years later, and on Dec 12, 2024, Shawn (finally) popped the question, and now we can’t wait to celebrate our love with you all!
