Stacey Papadimitriou and Shane Kouros

Meeting the parents can be a nerve-wracking occasion, but if your parents have known each other for over 20 years and you’ve grown up with your partner, it couldn’t be easier. When childhood friends Stacey and Shane started going to the gym together five years ago, they had no idea their friendship would gradually blossom into romance. But when they shared the news of their engagement after Shane proposed during a walk through a park on his birthday, both sets of parents were almost as excited as the couple themselves.
