Shane and I first met at a wedding in December of last year in Hot Springs, and as a set up through mutual friends! I had been friends with the bride of that wedding (Kaylie) since Kindergarten, and Shane became friends with the groom (Vlad) through their mutual anesthesia careers. I was encouraged to come to the wedding solo so I could meet Shane. When I got to the reception, a tall, handsome man immediately caught my eye, and I was secretly hoping that he was the one they wanted me to meet. Lucky for me, it was! After some coaxing and encouragement from my friends (AuBrianna), Shane came over to introduce himself. He had a Superman curl to his hair that I couldn't take my eyes off of, and he was so easy to talk to. He was outgoing, energetic, funny, witty, and such a good story teller. We immediately hit it off and danced/talked all night. We took photos together at the photo booth, and before the third photo, he said, "If this works out one day, you'll thank me," and he gave me a big smooch! His confidence and cleverness were so attractive to me. Those photos from the night we met have become so special to us. The groom at the wedding jokingly came over to us several times that night while we were talking and said, "Want me to go ahead and just get the officiant so we can marry you guys right now?" Little did we know that we would be getting married just a year after that, in the same city! My nickname for him since we met has been Superman. Not just because of the good hair, but because of his strength and protectiveness. I feel completely taken care of when he's around. We are so excited to share this experience with each and every one of you. You are all so special to us and have given us so much love and support since we met. See you on December 7th!
