As many of you know, our love story took a while to develop. We first met our freshmen year at UC Irvine, but we didn't start dating until our junior year -- thanks to Shaun's patience and persistence and McKenzey's realization of the great guy that was right in front of her! We had our first date at Strickland's Ice Cream in April 2017, and we made our relationship official on May 24, 2017. We would continue to grow in love over many more ice cream dates, Delta Gamma formals, sporting events, travels, and life transitions together. This all culminated into taking the next big step in our relationship. Through a series of elaborate schemes, Shaun pulled off a perfect surprise proposal for McKenzey overlooking Crystal Cove at sunset. Our wedding date will mark 8 years together to the day, and the start of a new chapter in our love story. We are so excited to celebrate with you all!
