Our Story

Terrence and Shannon met at their workplace, Metropolis Fremantle, in January 2013. What started as a purely platonic relationship, that consisted of TimeZone adventures and Nando's feasts, slowly turned into something more. Terrence took the time to court Shannon before formally asking her to become his girlfriend.

Terrence formally asked Shannon to become his girlfriend on Monday 5th May 2013. Shannon and Terrence spent their first year of their relationship enjoying fun dates, working together and all-nighters with their friendship group.

A month after celebrating their first anniversary, they both made the decision to commit their lives to Christ, and began serving in Church. During that time they made the commitment that they would be together forever, and began working towards the next step.



Terrence proposed to Shannon on Friday 19th December 2014, in Kings Park, Perth. This location was Shannon's dream proposal spot. He created a "scavenger hunt" that included their close friends and family, clues, love notes, balloons, a guitar player, photography and videography. With the final clue being the ring, the elated newly engaged couple celebrated under the gazebo.

Quickly the wedding began progressing, with the date announced for Saturday 2nd January 2016. With the assistance of Shannon's parents, Darren and Jenelle Hultgren, and Terrence's mother, Julianne Vidler, the pair will be wed at their church, Christian City Church Crawley by their ministers, Nathan and Chanelle Clifford.

Terrence and Shannon both consider themselves blessed to have found their counterpart. Their passion for Christ, and each other has formed a solid foundation for their future. Currently, they are enjoying their new phase of their relationship, but are looking forward to beginning their lives as the Raffaelli's.
