Shannon was bartending at the Alibi beach bar. Ryan, his boss and coworker would go in for an after work drink now and again. Then one night, Ryan stopped in with his brother, Nick and friend, Paul. After a bit of back and forth, Shannon made it clear she was "single, but NOT looking". So naturally a few you won't's were thrown around and Paul and Nick convinced Ryan to leave his number. On a coaster...in crayon...barely legible. It was immediately thrown into the garbage. However, through the magic of social media, about a month later, Shannon found Ryan and invited him out with some of her friends. They then proceeded to spend every single free moment together for the next few weeks. Those weeks became months and eventually Shannon and her pups grew roots in Ryans house, which then became their house, leading them to celebrating this next step with you all!
