We're Getting Married

Shauna and Alphonso (mostly known by Ace) met at a fish market on July 5th, 2016 where there were plenty of fish! Shauna was hiding and Ace never even saw her. She said hello and Ace didn’t hesitate to greet her back. What started as a simple “hello” bloomed into lots of texting and hours of conversation. At this point, Shauna had hooked her fish. After 15 months of dating, their differences got the best of them and they parted ways in September 2017. Because Ace believed there was still so much love between them, he never gave up. After a few attempts, Shauna finally reopened the door and Ace hooked her this time. They officially starting dating again on April 15, 2019 and have been inseparable since reconnecting.

To Shauna, it felt like a normal Saturday at 205 because she’s used to having all of her mom’s family there on Saturdays. With being full of emotions after a hard week, Shauna and Ace sat quietly on the couch just enjoying being around the family. Shauna’s mom gets up and says she needs to make an announcement. Meanwhile, Shauna’s on the couch, whispering in Ace’s ear, trying to figure out why her mom is about to make a big deal about something that could wait. Everybody knows Shauna can have a slick mouth so instead of saying it out loud, she forces Ace to sit there and listen to her smart commentary. When Ace begins to get up, Shauna is really confused! THEN IT HAPPENS!!! Ace explained how he wanted to bring some light to what had been a dark time of the year for Shauna. He had been planning this for weeks with the approval of Shauna’s daughter, her mother and other’s close to Shauna. Shauna was so caught off guard because she couldn’t believe that Ace did this in front of so many people as he is extremely quiet and shy. At that moment, Shauna cried and cried and the only thing she could say was “YES” (well after Aunt Dot said it for her) but especially knowing how much she loves Ace and how much Ace loves her!!!
