We're getting married!

We met at a party during our sophomore year at WVU over a competitive round of beer pong. Whats more romantic than locking eyes from across the beer bong table?! After a round of beer pong, that Brooke likely won, we instantly became best friends. We quickly started doing everything together from skipping class to gorge on Five Guys, going on crazy weekend adventures, splitting a case of Busch and much more! After a whole semester of friendship we finally started dating and the adventures continued!

Brooke often browses animal shelters facebook pages and one day during her daily perusing she stumbled across a picture of a litter of puppies. Over dinner at Cheddars, Brooke convinced Shane to make the the 30-minute trip to the Harrison County Humane Society to go see the puppies. We instantly fell in love with all the puppies and knew we had to take one home. After playing with the puppies we decided on a pretty little puppy with a loving personality and we later named her Roxy.

We had an early morning hike planned to go watch the sunrise at a local overlook. We started our morning at 4:30 a.m. so that we could pack our breakfast and lunch before setting out to the trailhead. When we began our hike it was still dark, but as we hiked it very quickly started getting brighter and brighter. About halfway through Shane realized the sunrise was on the opposite side of the mountain that the overlook faced. Once at the overlook, Shane had to figure out how to get the ring out of Brookes backpack, that she was wearing... Because Shane had a suspicion Brooke was onto his plan he waited until they were just about to leave, before asking 'Murphster' to marry him. After a lot of laughing and tears, Brooke said yes!
