Amanda & Shaun in Manchaca, TX

A “random phone call” put Amanda Edgerton on the phone with a friend of hers who happened to be a mutual friend with Shaun Harris, who Amanda had known in high school -- and before she knew it, Amanda and Shaun had a date for that very weekend. The Bride Amanda Edgerton, 26, financial management analyst The Groom Shaun Harris, 27, county sheriff’s officer The Date November 12 Amanda and Shaun hit it off and while visiting the small town of Winnsboro, Texas, one fall, Shaun surprised Amanda with a Build-A-Bear teddy he’d made. “The bear had his recorded voice saying he loved me and wanted to spend the rest of his life with me,” she remembers. “I turned around and he was down on one knee! I was so surprised, I didn’t believe him.” The proposal was no joke, of course, and soon Amanda and Shaun were planning a wedding on her family’s Texas ranch.
