Shannon & Michael

Our People

Lyss

Matron of Honor

Shannon met Alyssa in graduate school and stands by the fact that her friendship was the best thing to come out of the program. Fun fact: Alyssa is also the matchmaker of the future husband & wife so we can all thank her for the upcoming party.

Cam

Best Man

Michael and Cam have been friends for as long as they can remember. From the time they could drive, they spent most of every summer together fishing, playing street hockey, golf, and video games. Still to this day, Cam remains Michael’s second brother.

Lys

Matron of Honor

Shannon and Alyssa met through mutual friends in 2015. It didn't take long for them to realize they were pretty much the same person. They have been inseparable since Shannon moved back to PA in 2019.

Tyler

Groomsman

Michael met Tyler through Shannon. It wasn’t long before they realized how similar they were. They are both very competitive, love the Steelers, Pitt games, and are married/marrying virtually the same person.

Toni

Sister of Honor

Toni is Shannon's younger sister and her first forever best friend. They had their share of fights growing up, but the older they get the more Shannon cherishes her sister and their relationship. She can't wait until all of her siblings live close together again (at the beach of course 😉).

Jared

Groomsman

Jared is Michael’s younger brother and first best friend. As much as they both hate to admit it, they love having each other around and have spent countless hours playing many different sports and games together. They have grown closer through the years with Michael becoming Jared’s biggest fan.

Ali

Sister of Honor

Ali is Shannon's baby sister and forever best friend. Shannon still remembers the day Alabama came home from the hospital and how in love she was with her real life baby doll. There is no bond quite like sisters' bonds.
