We're getting married!

Robbie and Shannon met in the aftermath of Hurricane Florence through a mutual friend. Robbie offered to chop up a tree that had fallen in Shannon's yard and she reluctantly agreed to let him help under one condition: that he let her help with hurricane clean up at his parents' home. Shannon showed up at the Suttons' the next day and Robbie chopped up the tree. The rest is history!

It was the weekend of July 4th. Robbie and Shannon had just moved into their new house and had friends staying for the weekend. The night before Robbie asked Shannon if she wanted to watch the sunrise on the beach and she happily agreed. But that was before a few glasses prosecco...needless to say she did not want to get up and watch the sunrise in morning. Shannon tried to come up with every excuse not to go, but Robbie eventually bribed her with coffee. The couple rode their CJ5 down to the neighborhood beach access and sat their beach chairs in the sand to watch the sunrise. As they were sitting there, Robbie asked Shannon to stand in the water, which she did not want to do. (She was really making this difficult!) Shannon eventually conceded and walked to the water and when she turned around, there was Robbie on one knee!
