Wedding details
We met in high school...and dated off and on. Shannon broke up with Adam for his best friend (which she will never live down) and we lost touch. Our lives took us in different directions...different states (Colorado for him and South Carolina then back to Pennsylvania for her). We both married other people and had children. 17 years later, after marriages that weren't right for us ended, we reconnected on Facebook. We talked daily, multiple times per day and decided to meet. On October 4, 2013,after teaching all day, she left school to head to the airport. A huge, beautiful double rainbow crossed the sky. She took it as a good sign. She flew 1700 miles from Pennsylvania to Colorado to see him. 17 years and 1700 miles of distance apart was emotionally overwhelming. We had an amazing weekend that went way too fast. For the next few months, we made the trip from Colorado to Pennsylvania or Pennsylvania to Colorado to see each other. In December of 2013, Adam and his son, Alex moved to Pennsylvania to be with Shannon, and her sons, Ethan and Cullen. We learned the hard way that 17 years and life circumstances can change people a lot. The first year and a half was rough for us. We faced some difficult obstacles, and even though we sometimes felt like there was no way of making this work, as much as we wanted to, we persevered. The trials we faced made us stronger. We learned to communicate. We learned to let go of past hurts. We learned that as a team, we could overcome anything. Our relationship hasn't been perfect, and we realize that no relationship is. Love isn't just an emotion. Love is a conscious decision to make each other a priority and choose to be with each other every day. We're choosing love.

2512 days agoHi! I'm on the hunt for a wedding dress that has a hint of lavender/lilac/maybe a light blue and I'm really struggling to find anything that interests me. I'm getting married on the beach in Mexico and thought it would be nice to wear a unique tint,...

2512 days agoListen, I know we are all here because we found our other half, the peanut butter to our jelly, the milk in our shake and so forth. All that being said, there is no reason we can't enjoy a little eye candy. So let's see your crushes whether past or...
