It was a cool day in January 2003 on the campus of Mercer University. Shatia was eating lunch with Maranda, her science lab partner when Sean came up to speak to Maranda. Maranda introduced Sean and Shatia to one another and the two of them did not think anything of it. A couple of days later, Maranda tried to be a matchmaker by telling Shatia that Sean was interested in her and wanted to exchange numbers while she told the same story to Sean about Shatia. Well, that's all it took. Sean and Shatia became great friends. That summer, Sean and Shatia were the only two who stayed on campus to work and ended up spending a lot of time together as friends. By the next January, their friendship seamlessly progressed to a wonderful relationship that continued to blossom. By 2007, they were engaged and married in 2008. Ten years later, their relationship that started as a great friendship has stood the test of time and they are so excited you are here to celebrate their ten year wedding anniversary.
