Our story began all the way back in the 3rd or 4th grade in the Our Lady of Sorrows gymnasium. Although we may not have known each other then, Lianna was a cheerleader and Shane was a basketball player both cheering/playing for the OLS Blue Knights.

As time moved on and Lianna went to Notre Dame High School and Shane to Steinert High School we never would have guessed we’d be meeting each other at the end of the aisle on our wedding day. The summer after our senior year it seemed like every night our friend groups were hanging out and living like there was no tomorrow, but we were just that… friends (as Lianna likes to say “besties”).

When it was time to choose a college, Lianna chose Towson University to join the dance team and Shane chose Delaware Valley College to join the basketball team. When Shane decided to move on from his basketball career and transfer to another college it only took one visit to Towson for him to choose TU to finish his education and continue to live like there was no tomorrow with his “bestie”. After countless nights of partying with Lianna on the Greene Turtle dance floor and buying her endless amounts of “Blue Bombs” Shane tried harder and harder to get out of the friend zone, to no avail. But there was one faithful night at the Towson Dance Team’s Formal where that switch flipped for Lianna. After a lot of dancing, drinks, and laughs she no longer thought of Shane as a friend but a potential boyfriend.

Shane’s mom Ceil always told him to find a girl like Lianna and that is exactly what he did. On July 14, 2018 he officially asked Lianna to be his girlfriend. At that point Lianna’s dad Greg told Shane there is no turning back now, this relationship only ends in wedding bells and Shane couldn’t have been happier about that. After 4 long years of Lianna dropping hints and sending wedding rings to Shane, he finally asked Lianna to marry him on August 6, 2022. A house and a dog (Luna) later we couldn’t be more excited to change Lianna’s last name from Rossi to Plunkett on July 12, 2024.
