Our Wedding

We met through mutual friends, and from the first day we met, on June 8, 2019, we spent almost every day with each other for the next month! It was quickly apparent to both of us that this was something special.&nbsp;

On July 20th, 2019, we officially started our relationship. We've been through so many experiences with each other over the past 5 years that it would be impossible to convey all the beautiful, deep, goofy, and love-ridden experiences. Our lives were radically improved and made significantly more meaningful once we met. About three years into dating, we moved into our condo together in October of 2022. Dom proposed to Shannon on April 21st, 2023 - She said yes😊. We welcomed our puppy, Jax, into the family in August 2023.&nbsp;

We both love to spend our nights snuggled on our couch, deeply immersed in a TV series or a movie. If we're not immersed in a movie or TV show, we're out exploring the world and encountering new experiences together, whether that's in nature, art, or a social gathering. We love to have fun, loose, goofy, and meaningful conversations over a meal.&nbsp;

Getting married has been so clear to both of us for such a long time, and we're so excited that we get to share this experience with all of you!
