It started with a fender bender in the Regis University parking lot. Donovan had accidentally hit Shaunna’s car, and while she didn’t reach out right away, when she eventually did, neither of them could have guessed at the lifelong friendship that had just begun. As English majors, they quickly connected over their shared love of The Lord of the Rings, literature, writing, and all things nerdy. That connection grew over time into a relationship built on laughter, curiosity, and a deep appreciation for each other’s quirks and passions. Along the way, they welcomed two beloved pets, Ronan and Artemis, into their little world. One of their favorite places has always been Estes Park, where they took their first trip together during spring break of their senior year. They've returned every year since—and in 2026, they’ll return once more, this time to celebrate their “I do’s” on February 7th, seven years to the day since it all began.
