Shawn and Colleen first met when set up by one of Colleen's co-workers, Michaela. It all started after a disaster date when she went to Klein's to decompress (with a glass of wine or 5) and ended up telling Michaela what happened. Michaela had this random idea to set Colleen up with her fiance's best guy friend, Shawn. She said he was 100% Irish, a hardworking iron worker, and a family guy. SOLD. They went on their first date at Marina Grille a few days later. The date started out awkward as Shawn misread the text and kept Colleen waiting alone inside as he waited outside for her to show up. Once they finally met, they spent the night talking about family, jobs, and life. They both come from very similar and loving families and had the same passion for life. A few dates later and the rest is history. And as we know, the awkwardness never went away, but eventually turned into a perfect fit. They got engaged on September 16th 2019. Shawn and Colleen had originally planned a big celebration on 2/14/21, but shortly after booking their venue, the pandemic hit, and all plans were then postponed. They decided to keep their original date and have an intimate outdoor wedding with just immediate family and push their big day to March 17th, 2022 to make sure all of their loved ones could celebrate safely! A few months after they said "I do" for the first time, they found out they were expecting! They are so excited to announce they will be having a baby in January 2022. With all the chaos of the pandemic, Shawn and Colleen's love continued to grow stronger and they realized they can make it through anything together. Shawn and Colleen are thrilled to have you come and celebrate this great love on Saint Patrick's Day 2022! Let's do a jig and celebrate making it through 2020!
