Our Wedding

The story of Dylan and Shannon started when they first met in 2016 during their college journey in Chico, CA.&nbsp;&nbsp;After Dylan graduated college, he moved to San Diego and Shannon soon joined him after she graduated nursing school, here they enjoyed the life of California coastal living. When Shannon found a job as an RN back in Northern California they both decided to move back and buy their first home together in Roseville, where they currently live. Through their years together they have visited many places around the world and have had the opportunity to grow their love, now it’s time to tie the knot and see what’s next in store, as Mr. and Mrs.!

Wedding Weekend  

Sydney and Shannon met in college, their friendship grew when they became sorority sisters and in later college years, shared the term "Dust Baes" for being the girlfriends of the Chico famous fraternity house formally named Dustbowl. Shannon and Sydney now take turns taking the 30min drive to see one another and find mutual love for their dogs and girls nights.

Sydney 

Austin is Dylans oldest and only brother. Dylan and Austin grew up in Yuba City, skateboarding, wrestling, and driving their parents nuts. They lived together for several years as they both got their degrees at Chico State but have since moved to separate states to pursue life. But don't let distance fool you, when these two get together, its like no time has gone by.

Austin H.

Shannon and Cindy met due to their boyfriends (now husband and fiancé)  being close friends. Shannon and Cindy  live a few neighborhoods over from each other, therefore their days together normally consist of random drop by each others houses and finding new red wines to try. 

Cindy 

Its safe to say Dylan and Tim's relationship has changed over the years. In college, Tim was Dylans alumni advisor, meaning Dylan got in trouble from Tim quite often. Now its hard to find a week were they don't see each other 4 out of 7 days in any given week. Tims even taught Dylan some "dad hacks" but don't worry, Dylan still hold the "King of Dad Jokes" title.

Tim 

Shannon and Emma met in college but their relationship REALLY became close post-college. Their significant others are best friends, which means their time together usually consists of making fun of the boys without them knowing, or trying to make plans that work around the boys tee times.  

Emma

Dylan and Brett were in the same fraternity together in college, they have stayed close post-college, making early morning tee times a Saturday morning tradition and ending the day with a nice whiskey in hand.

Brett

Shannon and Morgan met in college, they lived in the same dorm room and eventually went to join the same sorority! In their later college years they became roommates and shared the "golden year" of college together, enjoying relaxing wine nights and wild nights playing taboo with all of their friends.

Morgan

Dylan and Alan have been THE ultimate best friends. They were college roommates, and lived together in San Diego once they both graduate college. They even let Shannon join the household in San Diego when she finished nursing school. From there, the three of them have become family with one another. Oh, and you cant forget- Alan is the best uncle to his golden retriever nephew, Guinness

Alan 

Mackenzie and Shannon met in college soon after becoming sorority sisters. They later became college roommates where they complained about nursing school together and loved singing "My House" by Flo Rida at the top of their lungs every weekend.

Mackenzie

Dylan and Austen share their college experience together as fraternity brothers as well as college roommates. Their college party days may be over but Dylan can always count on Austen to make an adventurous day when they reunite. Dylan and Shannon got to be apart of Austen wedding day and celebrated with him in Costa Rica this past February.

Austen S.

Shannon and Sam grew up in the same hometown, but ironically never knew each other until meeting at Chico State. Life brought Shannon and Sam even closer then they became sorority sisters and college roommates. Shannon was honored to stand beside Sam in her wedding in 2019, and therefore she couldn't share her big day without Sam beside her. 

Dylan and Andrew were fraternity brothers in college but in later years became college roommates. Because of their friendship, their girlfriends became best friends *hint hint Maid of Honor*. Fast forward to today, these boys love sharing a beer, watching football, and exchanging Dog Dad stories.

Andrew

Shannon and Jessica met as new nurses at their very first job. It didn't take long for them to bond over the stress of being a new nurse. Although they both have moved to different departments, they still consider each other their "work wife" and can share the night shift struggles with one another.

Jessica

Dylan and Steven were next door neighbors growing up and best friends. They did everything together, and were voted most likely to be roommates their senior year of high school. Freshman year of college they made that prophecy come true. Even though Steven lives in Seattle, a couple states apart, no distance will separate them. Steven had Dylan by his side in 2018 when he tied the knot, time for the roles to be reversed. 

Steven

Madelyn is Shannon’s older sister, these two share way too many laughs together and can quite literally finish each other’s sentences. Safe to say they have become attached at the hip in their adult years. 

Madelyn 

Dylan and Cameron met in high school through Steven. They grew closer their senior year of high school before going their separate ways. Until they both discovered years later that they lived in the same town and worked in the Real Estate industry. Dylan considers himself lucky to have a friend he can talk shop with. 

Cameron
