See you at the altar!

That was it. That was Michael Murnane's (aka Murn's) opening line to Shea Warren at Lotties Pub Chicago on February 22, 2020. Mid-bite into her chicken tender dinner, Shea turned around both surprised and perplexed that someone dare disturb her while eating. After playing a little hard to get that night, Shea was soon swept off her feet by Murn's charm, gentleman nature and baby blues. Not to mention, his loyal group of friends who bragged on Murn all night and welcomed Shea into the group with open arms. Weeks after meeting, Shea and Murn found themselves faced with a very tough decision and first challenge in their new exciting relationship. With the beginning of this mysterious virus called Covid, and new protocols being put into place, they had to decide…do they quarantine alone (putting their dates on hold) or quarantine together and get to know each other? They took a chance and decided the latter, and spent their first few months quarantined together cooking, doing virtual parties with friends and talking for hours about anything. In August 2020 they bought a home together and have been inseparable ever since. The last 2.5 years they've spent holidays with each others families, traveled all over the country and internationally, and even welcomed a new pup into their home! A message from us: We feel so lucky to have met when we did, are so in love and beyond excited to take the next steps in our relationship with all of you by our side. See you at the altar!
