It started with a swipe! Chris just moved to Baltimore to start his new job when he matched with Shannon on Bumble. Shannon sent a space-themed pickup line and it worked like a charm.

Their first date was at La Palapa in Ellicott City, Maryland. They got lunch and Shannon was too nervous to eat, but Chris managed just fine. After lunch they spent a few hours walking around the shops downtown.

Chris asked Shannon to be his girlfriend and they were *official*

They went to their first of MANY football games together. It was a Monday night game in Baltimore and the Ravens beat the Colts in overtime.

They spent their first couple months together exploring Baltimore. And for their first Halloween they went as a referee and a football player for a Fells Point bar crawl.

Shannon met Chris's family for the first time between Christmas and New Years. Chris took Shannon out to the city to see all the lights and decorations and this is where they fell in love!

They attended their first Yankees v Orioles game together at Camden Yards. The Yankees won and this started the streak where Judge would homerun twice at each game Chris attended here on out.

Their first vacation together was at Villa Roma resort in the Catskills of NY with Chris's family. Chris has been going to Villa Roma since he was a baby.

Shannon's sister MK married Tyler in August of 2022. Chris got to meet the extended Bull family and they had a blast celebrating the happy couple!

They spent their second Halloween together in Nashville, TN with some of Chris's family and friends.

They continued their tradition of spending the time between Christmas and New Years together in NY. They celebrated NYE at Chris's mom's house in Brooklyn.

They went on their first trip to Hershey Park together with Shannon's family. Chris crashed out when they closed the water park, but don't worry they ended the day "Hershey Park Happy!!!"

They took a trip to Ocean City, Maryland where Shannon grew up going on vacation. They also stopped off in Salisbury so Chris could see where Shannon went to college.

For their third Halloween, Chris took over costume decision-making. If you know Chris you know he was very proud of this cinematic couples costume.

Christmas #3 in NYC at the lights where they fell in love!

They took a trip out to LA for Shannon's work conference. While they were there they got to go on a tour of SoFi stadium.

They also spent a day at Universal Studios in CA. Chris is very proud that Shannon has now watched all the Harry Potter movies and could appreciate this portion of the park.

Bring your Chris to work day! Shannon got to bring Chris to Goddard Space Flight Center when she won an award.

They rented a boat for Chris's 25th birthday and celebrated with his closest family.

They attended the home opener Jets v Patriots game at Metlife where the Jets won (this is important and rare enough to make the timeline)

Their first Thanksgiving together was celebrated in Brooklyn with Chris's family.

The night before Chris proposed they attended a friend's engagement party where Chris spilled the beans to friends but Shannon remained oblivious.

Chris proposed!!! He got down on one knee in Central Park and Shannon blacked out and might have forgotten to say yes. They took pictures with Christmas lights around the city where they fell in love and met up with Shannon's family and Chris's mom and brother for dinner -- a surprise of a lifetime!!
