Shayna&nbsp;was&nbsp;born&nbsp;in&nbsp;Des&nbsp;Moines,&nbsp;Iowa,&nbsp;and&nbsp;Jason&nbsp;in&nbsp;Fort&nbsp;Carson,&nbsp;Colorado.&nbsp;In&nbsp;March&nbsp;of&nbsp;2020,&nbsp;fate&nbsp;gave&nbsp;them&nbsp;their&nbsp;first&nbsp;crossing&nbsp;at&nbsp;a&nbsp;lively&nbsp;gaming&nbsp;bar,&nbsp;UpDown.&nbsp;Shayna&nbsp;boldly&nbsp;tried&nbsp;to&nbsp;catch&nbsp;Jason’s&nbsp;attention,&nbsp;but&nbsp;the&nbsp;timing&nbsp;wasn’t&nbsp;quite&nbsp;right.&nbsp;What&nbsp;neither&nbsp;of&nbsp;them&nbsp;realized&nbsp;was&nbsp;that&nbsp;this&nbsp;brief&nbsp;encounter&nbsp;was&nbsp;only&nbsp;the&nbsp;beginning&nbsp;of&nbsp;something&nbsp;much&nbsp;bigger. Two&nbsp;years&nbsp;later,&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;spring&nbsp;of&nbsp;2022,&nbsp;the&nbsp;universe&nbsp;brought&nbsp;them&nbsp;together&nbsp;again,&nbsp;this&nbsp;time&nbsp;at&nbsp;a&nbsp;speed&nbsp;dating&nbsp;event.&nbsp;What&nbsp;started&nbsp;as&nbsp;casual&nbsp;conversation&nbsp;quickly&nbsp;turned&nbsp;into&nbsp;something&nbsp;that&nbsp;felt&nbsp;easy,&nbsp;natural,&nbsp;and&nbsp;right.&nbsp;One&nbsp;date&nbsp;led&nbsp;to&nbsp;another,&nbsp;and&nbsp;before&nbsp;long,&nbsp;they&nbsp;knew&nbsp;they&nbsp;had&nbsp;found&nbsp;something&nbsp;real. On&nbsp;February&nbsp;22,&nbsp;2025,&nbsp;during&nbsp;a&nbsp;belated&nbsp;birthday&nbsp;dinner&nbsp;for&nbsp;Shayna,&nbsp;Jason&nbsp;asked&nbsp;the&nbsp;question&nbsp;that&nbsp;would&nbsp;change&nbsp;their&nbsp;lives&nbsp;forever.&nbsp;With&nbsp;a&nbsp;heartfelt&nbsp;“yes,”&nbsp;their&nbsp;love&nbsp;story&nbsp;began&nbsp;a&nbsp;new&nbsp;chapter,&nbsp;one&nbsp;that&nbsp;they&nbsp;are&nbsp;so&nbsp;excited&nbsp;to&nbsp;share&nbsp;with&nbsp;all&nbsp;of&nbsp;you.
