Once upon a time, in the vast sea of the internet, a simple direct message changed the course of two lives forever. Shawn reached out first, sparking a connection that would lead to a love story for the ages.

Our initial meeting in person at the university rec center quickly evolved into a shared passion for playing basketball every Tuesday and Thursday after class. It wasn't just the game that drew us together—the moments spent sitting in Shawn's car, talking for hours on end, that truly solidified our bond.

Our first official date at Wise Guys in Akron, Ohio was just the beginning of a whirlwind romance. Shawn wasted no time in asking me to be his Valentine for our second date, setting the tone for a relationship filled with love and devotion.

When the Covid shutdown hit, it brought us even closer together. We talked on the phone for hours every day, finding solace in each other's company during uncertain times. Shawn's decision to move to Columbus to be closer to me was a testament to the depth of our connection.

Together, we welcomed a fur baby into our lives - a labradoodle named Jett who quickly became an integral part of our little family. Though we faced challenges along the way we knew that our love was worth fighting for.

Now, we stand on the brink of a new chapter in our love story - one that will culminate in marriage. Our journey together has been filled with laughter, tears, and everything in between, but through it all, we have only grown stronger.

As we look towards the future, we are filled with gratitude for the love that has brought us to this moment. Together, we know that our love story is just beginning, and we can't wait to see where it takes us next.

Thank you for being apart of our story and joining us for our wedding.
