How We Met

We Should Be Embarrassed...

We actually met through the dating app, Bumble, 🙈 around the middle of December 2016, but our first date wasn't until January 2, 2017. We went to 300 East, in Charlotte for dinner and left the restaurant with a second date planned for later in the week. Everything from the conversation, to the food, to the company was even better than either of us anticipated it to be!

How He Asked

The Best Surprise

Edward booked a quick getaway weekend in Boone, NC over Easter Weekend. Shana attended grad school in Boone and when Edward attended her graduation, he fell in love with it as quickly as she did. We were both excited to spend some time in the mountains and visit some of our favorite breweries. Shana's favorite brewery (arguably in NC) is Appalachian Mountain Brewery (AMB), so naturally it was one of the first places that we went. We walked up to the bar and checked out the menu, Shana was being indecisive as usual, so Edward suggested that she order a "flight". Little did Shana know that this was the code word that Edward had set up in advance so that the staff would know to set everything in motion. The bartender told Shana that they had one more cider option that they hadn't put up yet that day, and she pulled out one of the wooden signs that they list their beers on and added it to the board. Shana looked at the sign and realized that it wasn't the name of one of their ciders, it was a beautiful hand painted sign that said, "Shana Hall, Will You Marry Me?" The answer was an obvious yes (easiest decision she's ever made). The surprises continued with our friends Cait and Brian and Maria and Sean meeting us at AMB and celebrating with us for the rest of the weekend.
