Brian and Shannon's "I WILL" ESession

WOW WOW WOW what a blast we had with Brian and Shannon!
Thanks again for letting us (Brent and I) capture your love.
Here is their engagement story I have to include this,Shannon wrote on her page.
(Shannon has her PHD in animal science focusing on horse nutrition she is a professor @ NCSTATE, we all know UNC is better but since they don't have that program we'll let that slide ;)
Brian is a patent law Lawyer, UNC grad.)
While Shannon takes her students to Ireland here is what happened in Shannon's words.
"So I'm in Ireland taking a group of 14 students on a Study Abroad course - the Horse Industry in Ireland. One our second to last day, we toured the Curragh, Irish National Stud and finished with a few races at Punchestown racetrack. As we were leaving, Brian called, just "checking in" to see what we're up to. Then the group headed to the bus... Standing outside were our driver John and tour guide Bill. They said we couldn't get onto the bus just yet... someone was in the driver seat (I figured he might have been a mechanic because the door had been acting up) - but it was Brian! He got off the bus, my jaw dropped to the ground and got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I think I said yes before he even asked. The students were so excited and of course had their cameras - so we've got everything on film. We're not back until tomorrow so they aren't downloaded yet - but they'll be posted as soon as possible! We're so excited!"

How incredible is that??!!!
Let me tell you I can feel and see the love in this couple and I wish them
a FOREVER of happiness!
I can't wait to see the stunning couple at the wedding in November.
