Q + A

How did you meet?

Like a lot of couples we met via Facebook Dating. Interestingly, for over nine years we have lived just one mile apart and Will regularly shopped at Harmons where Shannon worked part-time as a cashier. Will remembers taking his groceries to Shannon's line because she was the cute one. Shannon doesn't remember ever seeing Will!

How Long did you Date before getting engaged?

We have had a total of two dates. We met for our second date on February 3rd and have never parted ways. Our wedding day will be day 213 of our second date.

Why are you getting married on September 2nd?!? THat's Labor Day!!!

September 2nd is Shannon's parents' wedding anniversary. We both think it is a nice tribute to Shannon's parents and a fun day (i.e., Labor Day) for us to cement our union.

How Many Kids Do you Each Have?

Shannon has three daughters and Will has three sons. We are basically recreating the Brady Bunch and hope to soon be recruiting for a live-in housekeeper.

Are you going to have more kids?

Hell no! Nope! Absolutely not! We are in our fifties and way too old to be adding another child to our family. It's time to enjoy grandkids and lucky for us there are already three cuties in our family.

Where are you going to live after the wedding?

We are going to live at Shannon's home and rent out Will's house. Eventually, we are going to buy a home with a swimming pool because Will promised to get Shannon a swimming pool with a sun tanning shelf.

I would like to buy you a gift. What type of gift would you like to receive?

We are merging two households and have everything we need. If you would like to provide a gift, consider giving to our Honeymoon Fund in the Registry.

What is the dress code for your wedding?

You decide! Although we are wearing traditional wedding clothing we don't expect anyone else to wear a suit or dress. We just want to share our wedding day with our family and friends. So, come in whatever you are comfortable wearing. Even crocs with socks will be welcomed!

Can I bring my kids to your wedding?

Of course! Our venue is small (it only has room for 100 guest) but there are many places for kids to explore and things to keep their attention.

Will you have a separate wedding reception?

We are having our wedding reception immediately after our our wedding ceremony. There will be drinks (both adult and kid friendly), music, and dancing so consider wearing shoes that you can dance in.

Where are you going for your Honeymoon?

We will have a mini-honeymoon after our wedding and a formal honeymoon in Spring. We are still deciding on where to go for our formal honeymoon. Please send us your ideas!
