Shannon married Sheldon Bream on December 30, 1995. The couple met at Liberty University, and when Sheldon was 24, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. The tumor was successfully removed in a nine-hour surgery, although complications led to severe facial paralysis due to crushing of the facial nerves. In a 2020 interview on Fox Nation's "Ride To Work," Shannon shared that Sheldon's recovery began with a small sign when the corner of his mouth twitched a few weeks before their wedding. This small movement was a heartening indicator and led to a joyous moment at a Pizza Hut, as they realized his gradual recovery had begun. Thankfully, Sheldon has since recovered fully without the tumor returning.
