Our Wedding

Shannon and Joe's journey began in Allentown, where they met in kindergarten and remained close friends throughout middle school and high school. Though they went their separate ways for college, fate brought them back to their hometown years later.Reconnecting as old friends over drinks, they quickly fell into a rhythm, enjoying the things they both loved: concerts, beach days, hiking, and indulging in good food. What started as a rekindled friendship soon blossomed into something more.Little by little, they began building a life together—cross-country trips, family vacations, and countless moments that made them realize they were meant to be.On their 3-year anniversary, Joe proposed over a beach picnic on a beautiful summer day in Ocean Grove, NJ. They couldn’t be more excited to begin this next chapter of their story, surrounded by the people they love.
