Antoinette and Shawn met at NMSU while they were both studying music. They were both members of the Wind Symphony, Jazz Band, and Pride of New Mexico Marching Band. In being a part of those ensembles along with late-night conversations about music and astrology, their shared experiences led to the ultimate companionship. On November 10th of 2017, the two decided to officially make their relationship romantic and accompanied each other as a couple and as musicians of the Wind Symphony to the Veteran's Day concert the next day. They are very excited to continue their love with their families and to go through all of the adventures marriage has to offer. They also look forward to celebrating with all of their loved ones during their wedding!
