In the midst of my grief, I looked at Victor and said I wanted to do a spontaneous civil ceremony on my grandparents’ wedding date, August 9.
The One Tree Hill alum said the idea of her grandparents being reunited and watching over our ceremony from above gave her some peace. Shantel said they were married for 63 years and had “such a special, deep love.”
They were the example to me of how love is a choice and takes work. It wasn’t perfect, but their love was always pure.

Victor and Shantel first met on the set of the Hallmark movie, Love Blossoms, in 2018. They went on to date for four years before getting engaged in February 2020.
