Picture it: Peachtree City, Georgia, April 2013. Garrison and Shannon arrived at Carrabba’s Italian Grill for their first day of server training. After a week of food and wine tasting (and dipping plenty of bread in the secret herb mix), they became good friends. They happily worked beside each other for one year before Shannon moved to Atlanta.

But when she came back to Peachtree City in 2016… things were different. Garrison took Shannon to a favorite sushi restaurant for their first date. The next eight years would be spent eating delicious food together.

Amidst career changes, moving four times, buying and renovating their new home, a global pandemic, losing family members and their beloved dog: love persevered.

One perfect October morning in Orlando, Garrison proposed. They spent the day with Shannon’s best friends and rode all their favorite roller coasters.

The beginning of this relationship has been full of growth, laughter, and love. The best is yet to come.
