What appeared to be a casual night of celebration between mutual friends turned into the start of the love you see now between Mark and Shannon. Brief moments of conversation and connection sparked and immediate interest as Mark took on the role of the pursuer. Our first date lead us to a place that has been a pillar in our growth and development as a couple, Shoreline City Church. After church together that Sunday, we saw each other at least a couple of time every week going from dating to a relationship to engaged and now getting married all in a two and a half year span.
