Our Story

Let’s just say what happens in Las Vegas does not always stay in Las Vegas. In early December 2012 we flew to Las Vegas. Shannon came in from Boston and I flew in from Hawaii. I was there to attend my friends Chris and Emily Murphy’s wedding. Shannon came prepared to run the Rock and Roll half Marathon, which her roommate at the time, Meg O'Hara, somehow convinced me it would be a good idea to run after attending a Las Vegas Wedding. Our first meeting was in her hotel room at the Hard Rock Hotel, as Salty (a.k.a Eric Kymalainen) and I burst in to the room to awake Meg and Shannon from their naps. The real love story begins as we met at the start line. All the girls... and I were in our tutus, except Shannon, with whom I ran the entire race.

Shortly after arriving home from our trip we began seeing each other, and over the past year and a half have become inseparable. We have had quite the adventures in the short amount of time we have been together; I suppose we are trying to make up for all the time we spent apart before finding each other. We have traveled to quite a few places together, starting in Las Vegas, and continuing on to visit Vermont, California, New Hampshire and Disney World for yet another long long long run around the Disney parks.

On July 5th , surround by family and friends I proposed to Shannon at my family’s lake house with a video (see proposal page) that had captured our lives together so far. We can’t wait to see what’s in store for the rest of lives together and we hope to start it off with you at our wedding!
