Shannon and Alex had their first date in August 2015. At the end of their first date, Shannon immediately texted her friends and said "That is the man I am going to marry", and Alex texted Shannon "When do I get to see you next?" Shannon responded "How does tomorrow sound?" and the two have been together ever since.

At the time they got together, Shannon was studying full-time at Mount Saint Vincent University, and Alex was working for Air Canada Jazz. Despite living at very different paces, the two seemed to be able to integrate their lives seamlessly. In those early days, you could often find them sharing a meal at the Halifax Shopping Centre Food Court, before or during Shannon's work shifts, at their favourite sushi spots Wasabi or Mizu, or at the MSVU Student Bar.

In 2017, Shannon and Alex moved in together in a cozy apartment in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Shannon brought her sweet orange tabby, Ronald with her, and the three of them became a family. In early 2018, their family grew by one with the addition of their sweet tri-pod kitty, Lefty.

In 2018, Shannon graduated from Mount Saint Vincent University, and in that same year, Alex left his career in aviation to pursue his passion in Kinesiology at Dalhousie University.

In 2019, Shannon was offered an exciting role in marketing - in Prince Edward Island. Shannon wouldn't accept the job unless Alex was comfortable with the move, and would be able to transfer his studies to the University of Prince Edward Island - and ,of course, they could find a cat-friendly apartment. And so, all of the stars aligned, and the couple moved to Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island in May 2019.

When the originally moved to the Island, they didn't know anyone (besides a few of Alex's incredible family members that lived near-by). Luckily, they signed up in the Summer Charlottetown Sport and Social League, and were introduced to a welcoming, funny, and kind group of Dodgeball Players. They accepted Alex and Shannon with open arms, recruited them into playing Dodgeball, and have helped the couple form a beautiful and full community here on Prince Edward Island.

Shannon and Alex quickly fell in love with the Island, and decided to plant their roots by purchasing their first home in 2020. They also added a big, bull-in-the-china-shop cat - Alfie - and quiet and shy, Bob, to their four-legged family.

Alex graduated from the University of Prince Edward Island in 2023, and began his career at CrossFit 782 - a gym where Shannon had been a member for a year - that summer. Since, the two have been continuing to build their careers, and their community.

In December 2024, Alex proposed to Shannon, and the two have been having a blast planning their wedding ever since. They cannot wait to celebrate with each of you, and are so appreciative that you will be by their sides on the biggest day of their lives.
