Shannon and Will both moved to the mountains after college, each looking for a new adventure and a change of pace from their hometowns—Shannon from Texas and Will from South Carolina. Neither expected to find their forever here, but God had other plans. One night, a group of friends went bowling, and across the lanes, Shannon and Will noticed each other instantly. With a little help from mutual friends (and some subtle effort on Shannon’s part to make sure Will got her number), the rest was history. Will texted the very next day to ask her out, and their first date at a local brewery turned into hours of effortless conversation. Their next date? Hiking for hours in a snowstorm—because of course. From that moment on, they were inseparable—brought together by their shared love for the outdoors, country music, skiing, camping, a big bowl of ice cream before bed, and finding fun in just about everything they do. Whether it’s long mountain drives with their shared playlist, competitive game nights, or DIY projects at home (which may or may not have gotten Shannon banned from Facebook Marketplace after one too many “Will, can you pick this up in your truck?” moments), they just can’t get enough of each other—and wouldn’t have it any other way.
