Our Wedding

Our story starts the way that all good love stories do; a message through Facebook messenger. It was Summer of 2017, while I was back home in Massachusetts on summer break from UVM when Shane reached out through Facebook messenger with a sweet and simple "hey whats up." Immediately, standing my ground and being as stubborn as possible I shut his moves down immediately responding with "I am at work, I cant talk." We didn't know it at the time, but it was right then that our forever was just beginning. We met for the first time on the 4th of July in 2017 when Shane surprised me at the Mega Bus station in Burlington after a 3 hour bus ride from Boston to Vermont to celebrate the holiday with some of our friends. We spent the entire holiday weekend together going to cookouts, fireworks, pool parties and bonfires. It didn't take long for me to accept that Shane coming into my life was going to be something truly special. This July of 2025 will mark 8 years for us! Through those 8 years, we have adventured to NYC, Washington DC, Walt Disney World, SEVERAL trips to Massachusetts, and many, many Red Sox &amp; Patriots games. We expanded our family by 4 paws with our beloved Nova girl, and created a home with one another. October 4th 2025 is the beginning of the rest of lives together, and we are so excited to have each and every one of you with us to celebrate &lt;3
