Our Wedding

Our story is just like the old fairytale goes...boy and girl were supposed to hangout with a mutual friend, but he ended up being busy so boy and girl went and got drinks together. During this time the girl being painfully awkward shot the boy her finger guns and he was smitten from that moment on. On January 14, 2022 boy and girl went on their first official date which started off with Kenzie getting sick due to a medication she took so they were off to a real romantic start. A little less than a month later Shaun officially asked Kenzie to be his girlfriend and so began their journey. Throughout the highs and lows of nursing school, soccer seasons, broken bones, and a move from a third story apartment with no elevator without murdering each other, we felt confident that we were in this for the long haul. On July 1, 2023 surrounded by our families Shaun made it official by proposing and here we are now❤️ We cannot wait to celebrate our big day with all of you next September!
