We're getting married!

It was the end of summer before Arthur's junior year and Shannon's senior year of high school when Arthur first noticed Shannon. He got her number from a mutual friend and soon the text "hey, this is Arthur" turned into an all night phone call. The two shared their first date over California burritos, froyo, and a sunset hike. Shannon admired Arthur's kind heart and story of faith, and he loved her character and the way she carried herself. At the time, Shannon was not looking to start anything before leaving to college, but something about Arthur was different and falling for him was easy. It was a love only God could've orchestrated. After a year of high school together, Shannon had to leave for college all the way in Iowa which meant a year of long distance. In the years following, the Lord continued to grow the couple closer to him and to one another as they pursued their education and career goals. Arthur studied at CBU and Shannon at Loma Linda, where they often shared drives back and forth between San Diego and Riverside, spending time with each other's families. A strong relationship formed of endless pursuit, encouragement, and constant laughter. After nearly 4 years of dating, the two decided on forever when Arthur popped the question in Shannon's backyard; their soon-to-be wedding venue. The happy couple looks forward to celebrating with you all there!
