Darlene Wilson and Shannon Gallien...two Lake Charles, LA kiddos born and raised less than one mile from each other, where family homes still stand, connected more than 500 miles from that quaint location in North Lake Charles and we both still call it "home"...

Alabama is where we live. Darlene lives in Birmingham, AL and Shannon lives in Montgomery, AL. For the first time ever, Darlene and Shannon were able to appreciate social media...because of Facebook, it's how we connected. We met during the height of the pandemic, June 2020. God settled us down long enough so we could connect and get to know each other before the rat race of Darlene's professional life kicked back in. The one-to-one time we shared together during COVID allowed the innocence of our love to evolve with little interruption and the connection and bond to be unsevered.

We've experienced so much life together in these 3+ years and knew that life was meant for the two of us to do this thing together!

Through Hurricane Laura in 2020, business growth and challenges over the years, children adulting, abundant travel both professionally and personally, storms of Alabama that damaged Darlene's home, cold weather damage and flooding to Darlene's office building, and so much more, we knew God designed this union for only the two of us to endure!

We look forward to the days, months, and years ahead. We pray for peace, love, endurance and good health. We ask that you all pray for our union always and we will do the same for all of our family and friends!
