Our Wedding

It All Started With A Swipe!

Ashley and Shannon met the “new fashion” way. If you have not figured it out by now then no one will tell you how. They shared their first date the way they’ve spent many Saturdays to follow; brunch, Target, Bath and Body Works, and then dinner. Neither wanting to end the date decided to extend it…into forever.

31Oct2023 Ashley proposed to Shannon at the North Carolina Museum of Art with a spooky theme. Halloween being Shannon’s favorite holiday Ashley decided that it would be the perfect way to express her love and commitment in front of Shannon’s siblings and a couple close friends.

Ashley’s Proposal to Shannon

14Nov2023 two weeks after Ashley proposed and two years after their first date Shannon proposed to Ashley inRiviera Maya, Mexico. Under the guise of Shannon’s birthday/the couples anniversary trip, Shannon planned a private gazebo proposal and dinner for their final evening. Despite the many questions of whether Shannon would cancel the planned proposal since she’d been proposed to she in short said “Ashley deserved a proposal all on her own”.

New to Flying or Using a Different Airline Than Usual For Booking? We strongly suggest signing up for a flight program if you have not done so already for your preferred airline so that you can earn miles and benefits for your travel. This will sometimes allow you to choose seats for free or receive earlier boarding. If you don’t fly often this can still be very beneficial. If you are choosing an airline different from your usual airline consider status matching with the airline you will fly with. This will allow you to use your status from another airline to reap the benefits from a competitors loyalty. <a href="https://www.aa.com/loyalty/enrollment/enroll" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">American Airlines</a> <a href="https://www.delta.com/joinskymiles/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Delta Airlines</a> <a href=" https://trueblue.jetblue.com/enroll/sign-up" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">JetBlue</a> <a href="https://www.united.com/en/us/account/enroll/profile?gad_source=1&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjw34qzBhBmEiwAOUQcF3rw4-2D6xW7_yIPH9gl8b-BwTt9U7Tj-WQJyKMSnTKvWqeEHwk4WBoCDhwQAvD_BwE" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">United</a>
