Erica and Shaun met on a dodgeball team 6 years ago, shortly after Shaun moved to Baltimore. They became fast friends and along with one of Boston's finest, Mr. Mike Farr, they formed the 'Holy Trinity.' Together the trio made a pact to visit the Top 100 bars in Baltimore, continued their love of sportsing by joining a bocce league and took on all that the Greatest City in America had to offer. All the while, Shaun was terrible at hiding his love for Erica and while deep down Erica knew that together they 'sparkled' as her cousin Brina aptly observed, Erica was admittedly a hot mess and proceeded to torture Shaun for 3 1/2 years while she got her head straight. Then one fateful night over a scotch...or two...Erica finally confessed to Shaun that she thought she had made a huge mistake by missing out on her opportunity for something more than friendship. Fortunately this was not the case! They have been together ever since. In the past 4 years they have continued to explore the city where they met, have taken on numerous new adventures together, moved into Erica's tiny house and ultimately decided that they could tolerate one another's quirks for a lifetime...then a worldwide pandemic hit. Good news is that when this theory was put to the test, they passed! While the world ground to a halt, life on South Streeper Street could not. Last October, Shaun and Erica made their union legally official, tying the knot in an intimate handfasting ceremony at a local park. Then, this past April 'we' became 'three' with the worldwide debut of the one and only Rane Thomas Magner, creating only more reason to celebrate with you all on this first anniversary. We are very excited to share in this next phase of our journey with you. Each of you have been influential in who we are as individuals as well as a couple and family. We wouldn't be where we are today without your love and support. Thank you for being you.
