It all started at what many of you know as the 'Green Machine' AKA Enterprise Rent-A-Car. Shannon was a Trainee, and David was a Manager in the same area. One of David's employees and, now close friend and Groomsman, Aaron, knew that they had a thing for each other from the very beginning. There was a Real Salt Lake home soccer game one Friday evening, and Aaron knew that David had to invite Shannon for a double date. You could say 'the rest is history' but a lot has happened since then. Since David was a manager, he wasn't really supposed to be crushing on one of his employees from the same area...and, Shannon, the rule breaker that she is didn't really mind all that much. She kept it on the down low for as long as she could, and then as soon as she got promoted to the SLC Airport and was able, she let the universe know. They officially became boyfriend and girlfriend in April 2017. While Shannon was living up in Park City and David was living in North Salt Lake, along with juggling a career, seeing each other was a task. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do and Shannon and David would sleep at each others houses and wake up at the crack of dawn to be at their prospective branches up and down the hill. Eventually, David moved to Park City five short months later to live with Shannon and her other roommates when they got sick of driving hours to see each other and had a feeling that living together would work out. David and Shannon have lived in 3 different states, 5 different cities, and 7 different homes together. Careers have also changed, but to say they know how to push each others buttons would definitely be an understatement, and they can't wait to do that for the rest of their lives.
December 21, 2020 Shannon's world changed forever. David and Shannon took what she thought was a 'quick trip' to Scottsdale, AZ with no idea she would be coming home a fiance. David planned a sunrise hike which is not out of the ordinary with how much they are outside. Once they got to the waterfall they were after, David pointed out a photographer taking photos of the landscape and laughed with Shannon. A few moments later, David plopped down on the right knee and Shannon was in heaven. Turns out that photographer was hired by David to document the entire thing. Christmas weekend in Scottsdale was like nothing either had ever experienced, both coming from snowy winter climates. However, it is a weekend and Christmas that will be remembered forever. Fast forward to today...living in the small ski town of Breckenridge, Colorado (and definitely taking advantage of it!) with the world at their fingertips and ready to hunker down, tie that knot, and start their forever family. We can't wait for you all to join along on the ride! We look forward to seeing you all and celebrating our love in Sun Valley!
