Shane & Stacey met while living five minutes down the road from each other in Boston while Stacey was in her last year of medical school. Their first date was at Deep Ellum in Boston for drinks. In the months following, dates were often spent exploring new restaurants around the city. After a few months of dating and not knowing what would happen when Stacey had to leave for Philadelphia for residency, she made one last visit to Boston before making her final move. Shane & Stacey spent the entire weekend together where they enjoyed Boston and spending time with friends. About a month after the move, Shane made his first visit down to Philly, and well.....the rest is history. After two years of long distance Shane made the move to Philadelphia where they moved in together for the first time. Their jobs have since brought them to Washington D.C. where Stacey is completing her last years of fellowship.

On one of the most beautiful days this fall Shane and Stacey decided to venture out for a day trip to explore the Virginia wineries. In what started out as a typical weekend morning with a three-mile run and homemade breakfast, soon became one of their most memorable days. Before the vineyard opened, they toured the property and with the vineyard in the backdrop, Shane got down on one knee and asked Stacey to be his wife and spend forever together. Stacey couldn't say yes fast enough! She was so surprised! They celebrated by having a picnic under the sun, listening to live music, and drinking the afternoon away while calling family and friends to share the exciting news.
