Chris and Shannon tied the knot in 1995, and four years later, their family adventure grew with the arrival of Paige in 1999. At the time, they were soaking up the coastal vibes of Dana Point, CA, while Chris was stationed with the Marines at Camp Pendleton. That same year, they made a big move to Simsbury, Connecticut, and they've called it home ever since. Oh, and we can't forget their furry family members—shoutout to the ever-adorable Remi and Gus Gus!

Little did they know, Lara's coworker, who was coincidentally Len's cousin, was inadvertently trying to set them up together. Turns out, it was love at first sight and Len subsequently proposed on their second date; marrying a month later. Lara and Len now live in the Hudson Valley and love it very much alongside their German Shepard, Motek.
