Shaun and I meet in the summer of 2017 through mutual friends at a local bar in Doylestown Pa. The saying "Things happen when you least expect it" is definitely 100% true for us. We both went out that night not looking to meet anyone and here we are planning a wedding with all of our closest family and friends. That summer we agreed to take things slow, a couple months later Shauns mom and sisters asked him when he was going to make it "official" his response was "I thought we were" their reply was "well did you ask her?" to where his response was "no." A few weeks later he asked me to be his girlfriend.

We had been together for over 4 years at this time and things were starting to get "real" I had graduated college and got a job that I loved. January of 2021 we had talked about the next step in our relationship. From what I didn't know was that Shaun had it all planned out. Fast forward to June of 2021, Niko and I moved into his parents house once the school year had let out for the summer. We had talked about engagement here and there but nothing serious. July 2021, my dad had asked us for help moving a piece or furniture so the week before we left for our annual family vacation to Sea Isle Shaun went to help my dad. While he was there he asked my dad for his permission to marry me. My dad was OVER THE MOON! July 11th on the beach in Sea Isle, Shauns Aunt Diane was getting things ready to take our annual family/friends photo. He tells her that he is going to propose to me and asks if her and Uncle Mark would be able to photograph and videotape it for us. A few pictures were taken and then all of a sudden I feel Shaun put his hand on me and push me out of the group photo. I yelled "Shaun what are you doing?" he then gets down on one knee and asks if I would marry him. Of course I said YES! That moment I was in shock and speechless all I could do was cry and nod my head YES! Our family and friends (84 of them) instantly ran over to us crying with tears of joy hugging and congratulating us. IT WAS A PERFECT!
