Patrick and Shannon met in Seattle in 2019. Shannon was working as a nurse at UW Medicine and Pat was working in public accounting when they both attended a mutual friends Halloween party. Patrick was dressed as Superman’s Clark Kent (hubba hubba!) while Shannon was Bubbles from the PowerPuff Girls. The two began dating shortly after meeting and a few months later, the world shut down from COVID-19. During this crazy time, Pat and Shannon found solace in each other's company- figuring out very quickly that they were “it” for one another. After living in Seattle for three wonderful years, the couple decided to move to Bend, Oregon together in 2022. Since then, the two have enjoyed every moment of what life has had to offer them. From getting their beloved dog, Dotty, to buying their first home together, Shannon and Patrick could not feel more fortunate and excited about what their future holds. Patrick asked Shannon to marry him on May 25th, 2024 on the beach at Hayden Lake, where they have spent countless summers and precious moments together. The two cannot wait to share their favorite place with all of their closest friends and family in June 2025! Below you'll see photos of Shannon and Pat the night they would meet (Halloween outfits and all)- Don't laugh too hard!
