Could there be two more perfect people? Hannah + Shannon are so impressive, brilliant, and unbelievably gracious and kind.

From the Lord of the Rings music to the sweetest vows to the glow sticks on the dance floor, these two were smiling all day. So in love, so sweet, and so. much. fun.

These two celebrated their anniversary six months ago, and we can't believe it's been three and a half years! And they've got the cutest, sweetest little boy named Owen. We're so happy they're so happy, and are loving reliving their day.
