Michael & Katie
Wedding Party
Caroline Gallo
Mother of the Groom
Don't let the photo fool you... Caroline is a steadfast ambassador for healthy eating who famously stuffed kiwis and strawberries in her kids' plastic Easter eggs. To this day, Michael credits his mother for many of his healthier inclinations. (Beet juice, anyone?) Follow Caroline's colorful and savory feed on Instagram - @ceegeesplace - for daily inspiration! [Yorktown Heights, New York]
Anthony Gallo
Father of the Groom
Born in the "Little Italy" section of the Bronx, New York City's northernmost borough. Retired Lieutenant in the Yonkers Fire Department where he served for almost 30 years. Enjoys hiking, golf, going to the beach, and helping his children move (rather frequently). :o) [The Bronx, New York City]
Betsy Scallon
Mother of the Bride
Recently "retired" school social worker with four decades of service to Dane County's youth under her belt. Don't expect to see her slow down anytime soon, though. Likely the most organized and task-oriented person you will ever meet, Betsy's project management of every aspect of the Scallon family calendar and household could rival her career in public service! [Cross Plains, Wisconsin]
Kevin Scallon
Father of the Bride
Proprietor of an agri-nutrition consulting business and the perhaps lesser known but equally renowned "Uncle Butt's Flying Circus." ;o) If not in his office or tooling around in the BadgerLand Aero Club's Cessna 172, he can usually be found woodworking in "the shed," boating/waterskiing on Lake Mendota, or instilling fear in Wisconsin's fish/fowl/game population. [Cross Plains, Wisconsin]
Michelle Gallo
Sister of the Groom
K-8 school guidance counselor by day who moonlights as the Gallo family social coordinator. Always up to something fabulous, be it a concert, food festival, yoga camp, or an exotic trip across the country or world. Takes full advantage of living one block from the beach! [Long Beach, New York]
Danielle Gallo
Sister of the Groom
In the thick of med school rotations and can usually be found with her nose in a book these days. Looks forward to earning official MD status next year, and serves as unofficial family medical counsel in the meantime. Fun fact: Still holds several Binghamton University swim team all-time top ten records! [The Bronx, New York City]
Alexis Gallo
Sister of the Groom
Graphic designer, recently re-planted in Brooklyn after a year-long residency at the Fabrica communications research center in Treviso, Italy. Lover of rocks and spaghetti. Smiles for miles. [Brooklyn, New York City]
Andrew Scallon
Brother of the Bride
Pilot with Sun Country Airlines, emancipating Minnesotans from the frozen tundra in his Boeing 737. Between flights, can be found catching up on nerdy podcasts, fishing in the "Land of 10,000 Lakes," or vacationing in such sought-after locales as "The River of No Return." [Minneapolis, Minnesota]
Laura Scallon
Sister-in-Law of the Bride
Newest (official) addition to the Scallon clan. Always sunny and always up for an adventure. Target corporate discount beneficiary a.k.a. gift giver extraordinaire. Impeccable taste in men. :o) [Minneapolis, Minnesota]
Sarah Scallon
Sister of the Bride
Bilingual education professional who can roll her Rs with the best of 'em / musical ace with broad repertoire spanning classical piano, choral arts, various string instruments, and accordion polka. Enjoys gardening, knitting tiny sweaters, and a good book. [Madison, Wisconsin]
Peter Kleinschmidt
Brother-in-Law of the Bride
Doctor K., Chief Resident for primary care at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine, and engineer at heart. Scallon family advice columnist. If you've got a question, Peter probably knows the answer. [Madison, Wisconsin]
August Kleinschmidt
Nephew of the Bride
Made his much-awaited debut in April 2017. Impossibly cute. Currently cultivating fine motor skills in anticipation of venerable Ring Bearer duties. [Madison, Wisconsin]
