Shannon & Michael
Wedding Party
Sarah Bresette
Maid of Honor
Sarah and I met our first day at Bucknell and it only took two weeks to know I met one of my best friends for life. I have never laughed or cried harder with anyone. We have traveled (gotten in trouble) across the world together, from Cancun, Bermuda, Australia, to New Zealand. If it were not for Mike and Nick, I think we would be each others soulmates.
Denver Freeman
Bridesman
Denver and I met at at Bucknell and have lived together since graduation. From Wrigley to the John Hancock, we have been quite the duo, constantly dancing, laughing, and wreaking havoc everywhere we go. Whether it be dancing at Lolla, running marathons together, quarantining, or going on our long nighttime walks, Denver is my source of entertainment and laughter.
Stephanie Carlo
Bridesmaid
Stephanie and I became close in high school and always had an unexplainable connection. She is my brunette other half and my go to for all advice spanning from my closet (she will legit dress me) to my relationships. She is one of my closest confidants, favorite roommates, and the Pumba to my Timon.
Lauren Cicero
Bridesmaid
Lauren and I met through soccer at 10 years old. We were teammates for nearly a decade, but friends for longer. Lauren has and always will be one of a kind. I can rely on her for everything and anything, whether it be a ride to soccer practice, planning a trip to wine country, or going on dinner (drinking) dates with me.
Kristen Moehle
Bridesmaid
Kristen is not only my first friend, but the sister I never had. We grew up from diapers to adults together, playing house, tye dying shirts, ice skating in the backyard, to now both living in Chicago. Kristen has been with me through all trials and tribulations in my life and truly is family.
Vanessa Schiappa
Bridesmaid
Vanessa started as Mike's older sister, and transitioned to a friend and now a SISTER! Becoming close with Vanessa came effortlessly - probably considering we bond over being the "mean" older sisters. She helped raise Mike to be the wonderful man he is today and I'm so excited to become family or should I say, famiglia!?
Nick Steinfeld
Best Man
Nick was my first friend at Bucknell and remains my closest friend to this day. A true partner in crime, Nick always backs me up no matter what and is there to film whatever shenanigans we get into to ensure I have an alibi. Whether it's communicating only in movie quotes or working on our buttisimos, Nick is a lifelong friend that I know I can always count on.
Alex Spring
Groomsman
Alex and I met at a high school lacrosse tournament after I spotted his Bucknell lacrosse hat and bugged him until we became friends. By far my strongest groomsman, Alex and I fought together on defense at Bucknell for three years and I vicariously live out my childhood dream of playing professional lacrosse by sneaking onto the sideline of MLL games to watch him play.
Connor Donlon
Groomsman
Considering Connor could crush me right now, it's a good thing he was Shannon's "little" brother when she first brought me home to meet her family. Fortunately, right when I met him, I knew Connor was the friendliest and most genuine guy, and I couldn't be more excited to have him as a brother. Look out for him to steal the spotlight on the dance floor at the reception.
Eric Monfort
Groomsman
Eric and I were two of the few midwesterners playing at Bucknell my freshman year. Naturally our friendly demeanors and love for Taco Bell brought us together as we were the two biggest eaters on the team, by far. Always up for anything, Eric and I continue to cause trouble together regularly as members of the Midwest Meat Squad.
Jack Hagedorn
Groomsman
Jack and I became instant friends at Columbia since we both were from the midwest and took part in collegiate athletics. Apart from our shared interest in dentistry, I can always count on Jack to convince me to focus up and cram for dental school exams and to drag me to the bar to recover from said dental school exams. He'll also be accepting new patients at the end of the receiving line for anyone who's interested.
