We officially booked that second (third? fourth?) chance to celebrate! We are keeping our spirits high and at the end of the day, it’s not about the wedding, but about the marriage. However, in reality, due to the ever changing nature of Covid-19, this wedding celebration could change at any moment in regards to capacity. HOWEVER, as of right now, the wedding is on. It's happening (fingers crossed!). We will continue to keep this website updated in the meantime. Thank you and love you all.
1980 - Kahlan was born in Colville, Washington. 1986 - Shannon was born in Frankfurt, Germany. Time goes on [cue romantic music]. 2012 - They met at the most romantic place of all time: Bar Exam prep class [hi sarcasm]. They became friends through the course of studying. They had a karaoke jam session somewhere in between. Kahlan officially flirted with Shannon after the exam was over. Shannon was completely oblivious to his flirtation. They started with long phone conversations. Then it turned into dates. They fell in love. Then Kahlan moved to Maui. Shannon moved to Maui. Kahlan then moved to Honolulu. Shannon stayed in Maui for an additional year. Long distance happened. Shannon eventually moved to Honolulu. Cue drumroll... On December 21, 2018, after 6 1/2 years of dating, Kahlan [finally] proposed on the beach in Honolulu. He said: "I got you something small for Christmas this year” as he pulled out a ring and proposed. Shannon didn’t say anything because she was so distracted by the ring. A few short moments later, she said yes.
