Amidst the height of a global pandemic, November 2020, Shannon and Fabian were both equally at theirs wits end with the dating scene, ready to throw in the towel for a bit and hit pause on their love lives. Fate had it that the dating app they used, Hinge, played matchmaker and coined the two a "perfect match". After a couple weeks of 'getting to know each other', virtually the two agreed to meet in person. Their first date was casual - good conversation and margaritas at Shannon's apartment, which soon turned into date #2, #3, and so on. Their love for one another grew quickly and deeply, and by January 2021, the two were exclusive. Soon after that, Shannon bid farewell to her apartment and moved in with Fabian, where she also fell in love with his pup, Hazel. After nearly 3 years of loving, learning, supporting, and laughing with each other, Fabian popped the question (and caught Shannon VERY MUCH by surprise, see photo) in February 2023 and the rest is history. They are elated to share their celebration of love with everyone, and eventually share their love story with their kids and grandkids of the 'tale as old as time' when it all started with a swipe right.
