Sometimes the best kinds of relationships begin unexpectedly, when you get that electrifying feeling and everything happens so suddenly. That’s how Peter and Shannon’s love story began. They weren’t looking for love. It just came at the right time; the time they never thought it would have. They couldn’t stop thinking about each other since the first day they met.
Here are 10 facts about Peter and Shannon-
- They met at Big Al’s (sports bar/arcade/bowling alley) during their orientation at the University of Portland.
- They both really enjoy music, both listening and performing, and Peter likes composing music.
- Shannon started liking turtles because of Peter and he started cheering for the Denver Broncos.
- They both like spending time outside hiking, skiing or at the ocean beaches.
- Some of their favorite movies are Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Wars and The Lion King.
- One night freshman year, Peter distracted Shannon from homework by playing and singing Your Song by Elton John.
- When Peter proposed he sang and played the same song as well as Can You Feel the Love Tonight from The Lion King.
- A random woman was in the room when Peter proposed and played the songs for Shannon in spite of the room being reserved. She didn’t leave even though it might have been very awkward for her.
