Our story unfolded in the most unexpected places: Chubby Dog Coffee Co. If you've never been, picture a blend of 90s Nickelodeon, nerds, and great drinks. Shannon, working part-time, and Scot, hosting weekly gaming tournaments, were about to embark on a journey we never saw coming. Our first encounter was orchestrated by the owner of Chubby Dog, Adam (our wedding officiant). Shannon admired Scot, so Adam had us play Mario Kart together. After the game, Shannon quickly left, leaving Adam to ask about Scot's relationship status. Unfortunately, it was not yet time for our story to begin. Fast-forward a few more months, and Scot is asking about Shannon. In the middle of June, she flies down to the coffee shop in a sundress, hoping to catch his attention. Amidst the occasional staring and smiling, we manage to say hi, but our shyness is palpable. Then, a week later, Shannon stole Scot's phone number from Adam. This marked the beginning of our digital courtship, with Adam's occasional guidance (since Shannon was a bit rusty in texting a man). From that moment, our love has only grown stronger, and we are excited to continue penning our story.
