Her Story: Nick and I have known each other for years. One night we both happen to be out and ran into one another. After a night of laughing, some super great dance moves from Nick, and a couple of funny pictures, we became inseparable. His Story: I was out with my buddies having a cold one. I noticed Shannon sitting at a nearby table. I went over and chatted with her and chased her company off. I've been chasing her ever since.
Her Story: It was whirlwind year for Nick, myself, and our kids. Nick and I fell in love and our kids were eager to blend. A few days before Christmas, Nick insisted the kids get to open a gift. After I threw a fit (we never got to open anything early!) and the kids opened their gifts, there was one gift left for me. That is when Nick asked me to marry him! His Story: I had been planning on asking Shannon to marry me for quite some time. I just had to find the right moment. A few days before Christmas, we had all three kids. We were planning on watching the game that night at her parent's house and her bonus parents would be there. It was at this moment, that I knew the time was right. I proposed to Shannon with our kids surrounding us. Later that night, we announced our engagement to her family and mine.
