We met in 2005 while we were both attending Delta College in Stockton. We became friends but didn't start dating until 2009 after we ran into each other at Stockton's annual Greek Festival. We danced the night away with our mutual friends and Erin's family who was there. We've been on this journey of life together ever since!
Shahn planned a "Paint & Sip" night with a wonderful group of family and friends. Each person painted a different picture and took turns presenting their masterpiece to the group. When it was Shahn's turn, he walked up to Erin and showed his painting. It was a ring with the question, "Will you marry me?" Erin said "No" but was of course joking. Then she said "Yes!"
