Our Wedding

<p>Eric and Shannon met on Facebook Dating in 2020 and found they very much enjoyed chatting back and forth via Facebook. Both would wait not so patiently for the other to respond and had their first date in March of 2021 at the Panera in Annapolis. They spent 3 hours just sitting and talking and it was the most wonderful date. Since then they have travelled with Shannon's family, gone to see Eric's grandparents and even travelled to Panama to see Eric's friends Chris and Valerie finally tie the knot! Eric and Shannon can't wait to spend their special day with all of their family and friends this June 2024. </p>
