They met in the most bizarre way! Shannon was working with Michael's sister at a local restaurant. Michael stopped in to give his sister a new phone. Shannon was dressed in the mascot outfit of the restaurant. Shannon did a set of finger guns at him while inside the mascot outfit. Later that day Michael asked his sister who was in the mascot outfit. He then found Shannon on Facebook and they started talking. It was not long after that when the sparks started to fly. They went on their first date about a few weeks later, and that was it. They needed one date together and knew it was meant to be forever!
