"We met online, but before dating apps ..."

It was 2012. Shawn was reading comments on a friend's Instagram post when he noticed a particularly funny comment from a redhead named Ashley. After a small (and not weird) amount of online stalking, Shawn felt determined to ask Ashley out, but didn't see how they might ever meet. He consulted the advice of his Groomsman, Kieran, and decided he had nothing to lose by reaching out over Facebook.

There was initial and then sustained hesitation on Ashley's end. A nudge from a mutual friend, Kimber, helped establish that Shawn was fun, had a job and did not live with his parents. But, ultimately, it was a picture of Shawn's dog, Sully,  that sealed the deal. 

Sent as a last ditch effort to win her over, he explained that Sully was named after his Mother's maiden name,  O'Sullivan.  

Which, Ashley found endearing. And ever since meeting Ashley has continued falling more and more in love with Sully each day. Which, Shawn finds endearing.
