Gerred flew all the way to Ireland to ask Shannon to be his wife. The trip of a lifetime for the most important question he would ever ask… And the best part? She said yes!
I first met Shannon when she interned for Bayside Bride a few years ago and absolutely loved getting to follow her engagement journey over the course of our time together! Shannon is compassionate, warm-hearted, brilliant, and driven. Which makes Gerred the perfect match for her. A man of service, who is strong, honorable, and intelligent. The type of man she always dreamed she would meet as a little girl.
In two short months, Shannon will walk down the aisle of the Naval Academy Chapel and pledge her life to Gerred. Rarely do you meet two people that are truly this perfect for one another! I am so honored (and excited) to be the one documenting this special time in their lives!
Congratulations Shannon & Gerred! I can’t wait to see you again in a few short weeks!
