Cory and Shelby met in Kirksville while they both attended school at Truman University. They were introduced to one another in a bar,  by a friend. No one expects to actually meet the love of their life in a bar so they were taken by surprise. Cory had gotten ahold of Shelby's heart with his acts of thoughtfulness. However, there was a bit of an obstacle...a large part of her heart belonged to another; her cat, Shotsy and Cory was ALLERGIC! As explained by Shelby's maid of honor & sister, as his immunity grew, as did their love. 
Cory proposed to Shelby on a Sunset walk following a nice dinner. Her friend, who is also a photographer, was hiding in the woods capturing the entire thing!
Shelby grew up with a big love for animals including her cat and her pony so Rocking J Ranch proved to be the perfect place  for the two of them. They kept their day stress free by choosing to do everything, including photos, all in one place and as you can see, it was absolutely perfect.
