Local Love: Sam and Shawn

Shawn and I met when we both began working at Amazon in 2017. He asked me out multiple times, and I politely declined every time, insisting that dating someone from work was not a good idea. Fortunately, Shawn is a persistent man, and I finally agreed to let him take me out almost 6 months after he first asked me out. Two beers in, we both knew our lives were about the change. Shawn asked me to marry him 3 short months later, and this time there wasn't an ounce of hesitation from me. I said YES!

We knew we wanted to be married in the fall, and after seeing Historic Acres of Hershey, we set our date for October 26^th, 2019. Our wedding was the perfect combination of warm fall tones, textures, and cozy candlelight. And of course, we had to honor our dating roots by creating our own beer garden during cocktail hour for guests to enjoy. Unfortunately, it rained on our wedding day, but with our awesome photographer and wedding planner, we could barely tell. And I suppose it's true–rain on your wedding day is good luck, because we just welcomed our first child this past fall. The most perfect first wedding anniversary gift!
