Hannah and Shaydon met through Hannah's brother, Nick, who works at Amazon with Shaydon. Shaydon threw a Halloween party in October of 2022, where Hannah and Shaydon met for the first time. There were immediate sparks. Hannah was still in school, so she had to move back to Spokane, not seeing Shaydon for another 8 months. Shaydon had asked Nick to live together in May of 2023, and Hannah and Shaydon quickly grew closer, as Hannah liked to hang out with Shaydon's new kittens and help decorate Nick and Shaydon's new place. Shaydon asked Hannah out to a movie in August of 2023, where on the drive, he confessed that he had feelings for Hannah, and Hannah reciprocated having those feelings. After the movie, Hannah and Shaydon spent almost every single weekend together and eventually moved in together in February of 2025. The proposal happened at the lighthouse at Discovery Park in Seattle on their 2 year anniversary, a common place for their picnic dates.
