Our Story
We first met in February 2018 at Sycamore Brewery in Charlotte, N.C. We both had recently relocated for our first post-college jobs with AT&T & Wells Fargo, respectively. Our meeting was planned following a riveting Hinge conversation about winning our respective collegiate National Championships. As soon as we transitioned from a safe non-committal beer to a much more serious cheese steak eggroll & tequila shot dinner, we bonded over corporate conundrums, lacrosse & mutual friends (Shout-out Amanda & Ethan). Shannon felt things were headed in a promising direction, but then Luke revealed he was being relocated to Birmingham, Alabama; one of the only states in the country that could possibly terrify a talkative outgoing Jersey girl like Shannon.
But as they say, "To Love is to be Brave", and we decided to give things a shot. We spent 18 LONG months long distance, followed by 3 years together in Charlotte. And the rest is history!
