Justin and Shannon met a the local gym in Kalamazoo. Shannon would leave the gym for work at 8:30 pm every night, around the same time that Justin would be walking in to start his workout. Shannon thought Justin was incredibly handsome and couldn't stop thinking about him. She thought he had kind eyes, had a great body, and was friendly to everyone at the gym. Soon she would find out that, all though Justin did find her very intimidating, he also found her attractive and was very interested in her. At work, Shannon told all her coworkers about the cute gym guy and together, they devised a plan to write him a letter (Shannon is a little shy). One night she saw that Justin had parked next to her car and she figured now was as good a time as any (Shannon is also a little creepy). She placed the note on his window and hoped for the best. To her excitement, Justin texted her that night and they made plans to get breakfast in the morning. They were in a relationship a few weeks later and have been together ever since; still lifting at the same gym, working third shift, and traveling as much as possible. They moved in together in 2023 and got a Basset Hound puppy together named Chug who they adore. Shannon and Justin are so excited to share their special day with their friends and family and to celebrate their love and commitment to each other.
