EN GAGEMENT
O’Brien & Shannon BY GRACE BEAS L EY
D
rew Shannon and Kelty O’Brien attended the
same elementary school in Westport, Connecticut, but they wouldn’t meet until years later. Mutual friends made the introduction while the pair was in college. Drew graduated from Chapman University and Kelty graduated from Wake Forest University. They moved to San Francisco in 2017 and work at Facebook. The couple had dated for 4 ½ years when Drew decided it was time to propose this past summer. He planned a late dinner with friends and took Kelty on a detour to the Presidio – a favorite spot for the couple – that overlooks the Golden Gate Bridge. That’s where he popped the question, and the couple celebrated their engagement at dinner. Drew and Kelty will tie the knot on Fishers Island, New York, on Oct. 2, 2021. Kelty is the daughter of James O’Brien of Westport, Connecticut, and Kip O’Brien of West Palm Beach, Florida. Drew is the son of Dan and Ellen Shannon, of Chapel Hill. CHM
