Chris Curran proposes to Shawna Finos on the 50-yard line of Waldo Stadium. Joel Bissell
When Shawna Finos, Western Michigan University class of 2014, was ushered out onto the 50-yard line of Waldo Stadium on Sept. 19, she had no idea that she would be leaving engaged to the man she first developed feelings for in that same stadium exactly ten years prior.Â
Finos was a freshman visiting her cousin at his dorm on campus when she was introduced to Chris Curran, WMU class of 2015. A sophomore at the time, Curran was known for being outgoing and mischievous.
Finos, who was much more shy than he was, did not like him at first; especially when Curran almost ran her over outside Rood Hall without so much as a second glance. Nevertheless, the two developed feelings for each other at a football game Sept. 19, 2010.Â
