On Saturday, Aprill 22, 2017 (Earth Day), Jon and his best friend, Ivan (groomsman), were playing pool at Tellus 360 in Lancaster, PA. On this same night, Shannon and her cousin, Shirah (maid of honor), wanted to also play pool. Shannon went up to the 2 groups playing, asking if they could play next game. Luckily, Jon and Ivan won, and that was the start of Jon and Shannon's meeting.
