Shelby was one of athletic training student assigned to the PSU wrestling team Garett's sophomore year. While they did not talk at all during that time, there was definitely interest in each other from afar! Fast forward a few months to summer wrestling camp at Penn State, after Shelby had worked by the mat Garett was assigned to for 4 weeks, Garett finally got up the courage to introduce himself and ask for Shelby’s number. While it took a few days for him to get the courage to call her and she panicked that she accidently gave the wrong number, they went to Dairy Queen for their first date and the rest is history!
After dating for more than 5 years, buying their first home in Philadelphia, PA, and countless adventures, it was time Garett finally popped the question. While visiting Shelby's favorite beach, Chincoteague, VA, Garett decided they should go for a nice sunset walk. After picking up what seemed like a million seashells, Garett said he finally found the perfect shell and Shelby turned around to him down on one knee. She said "yes!" as the sun peaked through the clouds over the bay! We can't wait to celebrate this next chapter of our lives with you! See you at Historic Shady Lane!
