It all began in a Walmart parking lot in Myrtle Beach… 
 Devin and Shannon met in September 2019 while both playing in the slowpitch softball World Series. For those that weren’t there- Shannon called this engagement long before anyone by claiming “well if this isn’t wifey material… idk what is” after taking care of a sick Devin during one of the last nights of the tournament. 
 Although there’s debate on which was the official first date, their love story really kicked off with a couple of free tickets to a Notre Dame football game (and an ND win! 😉) Since then, they’ve embarked on a whirlwind adventure of a lifetime together- from ice climbing, mountain climbing, northern lights chasing, winter camping, backpacking, and everything in between. “What trip do you have planned next?!” is without a doubt the #1 question asked. 
 Now for what everyone is waiting for- After building a fire on the beach, Devin cooked crispy chicken caesar wraps- a recreation of the lunch he cooked for Shannon’s birthday in the Smoky Mountains, where they took their first big trip together, while wearing her favorite flannel. After posing for photos, Devin popped the question on October 12, 2024 on the shores of Lake Huron with the Mackinac Bridge serving as the backdrop, and it was an immediate “YES!”
