Shaun and Sonia met via Match.com. They both went online on a whim and Sonia's membership was about to expire and she received a notification that she had a message, however, in order to get the message she had to extend her membership for another 6 months...BEST MONEY EVER SPENT!!! They finally met face to face on July 28th 2013 and they've been inseparable ever since.

One week prior to our first full vacation together, on a summer night in the Windy City, our favorite cover band was scheduled to play at Navy Pier...on fireworks night. Since life is a story told when small coincidences come together to form special moments, an opportunity presented itself to create such a moment. With the band playing, fireworks bursting and a small black box burning a hole in his pocket; Shaun pulled her away from the group towards the end of the pier. Shaun stepped out on faith and asked for Sonia's hand in marriage.

As the leaves fall to mark the end of one season, two come together in the presence of family and friends to solidify their union. We are honored to have those close to us with us as we exchange vows and mark this blessed life journey.
