Shannon's maid of honor, Jordan, decided to have a night out to celebrate her birthday. Jordan had a dinner before, so Shannon decided to go out on her own. She immediately spotted a handsome gent at a local bar, Yard of Ale. Before she could think twice, she decided to stroll up and compliment him on his baseball jersey and asked him if he was a big Orioles fan. After bouncing around to different bars and clubs, Jordan invited said Orioles fan to her birthday brunch the following day. Stephen & Shannon spent the rest of the weekend together getting to know each other. For two years, they both kept a great friendship that included weekly pizza nights at Gigi's and a good bottle of wine. On April 2nd of 2021, Shannon called Stephen over and they both came to the realization that weekly pizza nights weren't going to cut it anymore; they really really loved each other. Later that summer, Stephen moved in officially and they've been a happy family with their dog Zoe.
