Shannon + Max

How did you meet?

His sister and I worked together and I met him at her birthday party and we stuck together all night and years later till now.

When did you know they were the one? 

There isn’t a single defining moment that comes to mind. It’s all the little moments and memories that eventually I realized I can’t live without him!

What are your three favourite attributes of your partner?

His loyalty, his humor and how he’s always tapping my butt when he finds the perfect moment too. May he do that till I’m 90!

Who proposed and how?

He proposed when we were visiting my cousin in Lake Tahoe.

Where did you fall in love with your dress and why?

Lovely Bride DC. I LOVEEE the 3D lace and I actually saw the dress on Instagram first. I went with “Carla” and saw Carla with Cape and went overboard for how boho and beautiful it was. I ended up not getting the cape and going with a veil.

What was the best moment for you at your wedding? 

When I brought my mom out for a mother daughter dance. She’s in a wheel chair and she was completely surprised when my dad wheeled her how to dance with me to “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” We got BEAUTIFUL pictures of us dancing together. She’s so happy and excited!

What advice would you tell other brides?

DANCE! Talking to family is great bit it goes by so quick. My husband and I didn’t leave the dance floor and we had such a blast and let loose. It was so much fun.
