Kelly and Shawn

This was one "Magical Hour" shared between soul mates!

How They Met: Since I was joining the flag football league not knowing anyone, I had signed up as a free agent. All the people who signed up as free agents were then put together on one team. Our team, the Intimidators, were not good at all. Our first game against the Mad Cow's, Shawn's team, gave us a good butt kicking. Two members of his team, Rick and Kristen, invited me out for drinks after the game. Shawn also went for drinks and after a little while we began talking. We discovered we both got invited to the same party, Mike Minotti's party, and it instantly gave us something to talk about. I provided Shawn with my email address and phone number to make sure that I had all the information needed to attend the party but Shawn never sent an email. The next day Shawn called. I already had a date planned that evening but we discussed meeting after my already scheduled "plans". So, I went on this date, which ended as soon as dinner was over and drove quickly over to the Crossroads 20 cinema where we watched the Da Vinci Code. After the movie, we spent over an hour talking in the parking lot under and umbrella. We just didn't want to end the night! We saw each other again the next day and the rest is history.

How He Proposed: We were on a cruise to the Bahamas with his family when he proposed. The day started off beautifully. We spent the day snorkeling and relaxing on the island CoCoCay. At the end of the day we went back to the boat and got ready for "Captain's Night". We went to the top deck of the boat and watched the sunset as we waited for our dinner seating. Just before we left to meet everyone for dinner, he popped the question. It was the perfect night to a perfect day.

Spending Time Together: We enjoy having friends over for dinner parties, watching NFL football and playing flag football (of course). Shawn is always a good sport when I want to try something new. For instance, we have a balloon ride with champagne planned 2 weeks before the wedding and we are in our 4th week of ballroom dancing. So, you will always catch us having new experiences and added to the things we enjoy to do together.

Tying the Knot: October 19, 2008 is right around the corner and we are very excited to "tie the knot" at the Barclay Villa in Angier, North Carolina. Our slogan is "Where Dreams Are Made".

They are 100% on the money!
