Shannon spotted Mike strutting up the staircase at work and suddenly Monday got a lot more interesting. Until he gave her nothing but one word answers. Strike out. But as fate would have it 4 months later, their paths crossed again and Mike was quick to ask her out this time! Sparks flew that 4th of July, their first date. The only two North Americans in the bar. How magical it was, love found 12,000 miles away from home.
Mike surprised Shannon with a trip to Noosa for the Queen's Birthday weekend. Little did she know, he had one other big surprise planned... a proposal on the beach! As Mike and Shannon set out for a sunset stroll that first night in Noosa, Mike suddenly dropped to one knee, ring in hand, and asked, 'Shannon Lindsey Davis, will you marry me?' Too excited to answer, Shannon just laughed and enthusiastically nodded yes!
