It started with a ski trip in the Alps when Shanley nearly plummeted off a cliff to her death. Joe happened to be there. He came to her rescue, they recognized each other from high school, and the rest is history. That's the fake story we like to tell people, but in reality we have never been to the Alps. An additional piece of reality is this: we are very excited to share our wedding with you and hope to see you in South Florida, our [actual] place of origin!
