Wedding Party

Litia Shaw

Bride

I spent my childhood in Tumwater, WA, eventually making my way to the east coast and looping back here to Washington when my cousin Melissa asked me to come work for her. I had a great time in Williamstown, Shanghai, Boston, and DC but I always knew I'd be back someday. I missed the trees, mountains, and water too much. Working for Melissa and Farmers Insurance led me to meet Dan almost three years ago. This path has been more fun than I could have expected but I know the best years will be spent together, sharing our lives.

Dan Shappie

Groom

I grew up in Versailles, Ohio. Just try to find it on a map. After leaving, I went on quite a few adventures. Never the same place, and rarely the same continent. Then Chicago. After a while though the winters chased me away. I landed here in Washington after randomly choosing a spot on the map. It has been the best decision of my life. I enjoy the outdoors and going on long, difficult hikes that I haven't quite been able to convince Litia to go on...yet. Now that we live in Sequim though, I think I'm wearing her down. In January we planted roots. We bought a house, started a business and are now very anxiously looking forward to raising a family here. I'm happy and honored to spend the rest of my life with Litia.
