Shannon (Myers) `19 and Jacob Widger *19 


They met in Fall 2017. Shannon had just changed her major to Music as a Junior and Jake was a Freshman Music Production major. Shannon walked into Music Theory on the first day and immediately noticed Jake. She made the first move and introduced herself. During that first class, Professor Jesse Ayers said "Look around at the young men and women sitting by you. You just might end up marrying one of your fellow music theory scholars that's here in this room!" Over the semester, they became best friends, study buddies, and started dating. Fast forward to December 2020, they got married in the Barn, where they spent most of their time together during college. Now, they're happily married with a little orange cat.

He was a boy from Cincinnati and I, a girl from Cleveland, from complete opposite ends of the state and here we were meeting in Canton, Ohio. We learned that we had both been at Malone's Scholar's Day event the year before but never saw each other! During our first year at MU we hung out with the same core group of friends all five of us were pretty inseparable. Our time together as a group was spent watching movies or playing games in the Barn, going to Late Night in the cafeteria especially on nugget night, playing ping pong in the lounge of Gurney (PGB) or Froggy's, watching American Idol in dorms, or making trips to Taco Bell. Band and chorale were the major social outlets for both of us and being in such frequent company made it easy to grow fond of each other. We began dating the summer after our freshma...
