How We Met
Shannon and Sam met sophomore year of high school in 2016. They shared mutual friends and slowly connected through shared interests. Their primary way to communicate was through Facebook Messenger because they were too awkward and anxious to talk in person. They held strong and they stood by each other into adulthood. 8 years later they are getting married and happy to embrace each other in this next chapter of life!
