Stephen and Shannell met at a local pub in Cincinnati, OH in the summer of 2022. One of her friend's Danielle asked her if she would like to meet her at a pub called Dog Haus, to play darts and sing karaoke. Luckily for Shannell and Stephen, her friend's boyfriend Rick also invited a friend to the pub that same night. His name was Stephen. The two of them were not looking for a relationship. However, due to cupid's arrow the stars aligned.

That summer, on July 5th, 2022, they officially became boyfriend and girlfriend. They spent the next year getting to know each other and enjoying their shared interests of nature, darts, and karaoke.

In November 2023, Stephen surprised Shannell by a romantic day out doing a few things that Shannell loves, eating and of course shopping, ending with his proposal in their lovely home. He got down on one knee and asked if she would do him the honor of being his wife. She, of course, agreed and they couldn't wait to spread the good news to all their family and friends.

Shannell and Stephen look forward to continuing to build their lives together as a blended family. Both have lovely children from past relationships, Zach 25, Anna 21 and Keegan 5. They are excited to merge their two families together. They can't wait to celebrate their love with friends and family.
