Mike and Shannon first met at just 12 years old in the 7th grade at South Junior High School. Life took them each on separate journeys, around many twists and turns, through peaks and valleys. As fate would have it, a few years ago a mutual friend saw Mike out one day and found out about a 33 year long crush he had on Shannon. He decided to play match maker and revealed this little secret to Shannon. Mike messaged Shannon and asked her out to dinner at Oliverios Ristorante On The Wharf. One dinner was all it took to realize there was something very special between the two and so began an inseparable bond that has only continued to grow stronger over the last 3 years.
