Our Story

In September of 2018, our story began in the most unexpected and unforgettable way — at a dear friend’s birthday celebration on a brew bike in Sacramento, CA. What started as a fun evening with friends quickly turned into the moment our lives changed forever. Walter walked up, bought Shanna a drink, and struck up a casual conversation that instantly felt effortless. Not long after, he politely asked a couple to slide over so he could sit next to her on the bike. Within minutes, they were already taking their very first selfies and videos together, laughing like they had known each other for years.

That night was filled with easy conversation, shared humor, and a spark neither of them could ignore. The connection was undeniable. So undeniable, in fact, that the very next day they went on their first official date — a date that lasted from afternoon into evening. Lunch turned into a movie, which turned into dinner, and before they knew it, they didn’t want the day to end. From that moment on, they were inseparable.

Over the past seven years, their relationship has been a beautiful journey of love, growth, and partnership. They have challenged each other to become better versions of themselves, supported one another through life’s ups and downs, and built a foundation rooted in friendship, laughter, and unwavering loyalty. What began as a spontaneous meeting on a brew bike has blossomed into a deep and lasting love.

On September 19, 2026, Shanna and Walter will step into marriage with full hearts, grateful for every moment that led them here and excited for all the memories still to come. Their story is one of serendipity, commitment, and choosing each other every single day — and this next chapter is only the beginning.
