“I am so happy to have had watched you grow into a beautiful young lady inside and out . We have so many wonderful memories together from our road trips, to making sugar cookies, to playing cards together, and of course all the dress up tea parties the 3 of us had together. Papa would have loved Will and is smiling down on you both. I am so excited to be part of your special day. It’s hard to believe all of the time you played wedding dress up at our house and now I get to see you walk down the aisle in your beautiful wedding grown. Love always.. ‘Mama’”

Brian Shaw

Father of the Groom

Hi I’m Brian Shaw father of the groom. We are so proud of our son and all his accomplishments. From high school rugby and wrestling with state championships to rugby at UT to working professionally as a property tax consultant. We are also thrilled that Journey will now be a part of the Shaw family. Welcoming Journ into the family feels natural as there’s a long legacy of music in the Shaw family. I love sitting with Journ and listening to her songs and adding some unneeded feedback but she accepts it. She loves our son and that makes Will’s mom and I very happy. Congrats to them both!

Lauren Plichta

Maid of Honor

“Hi! I’m Lauren and I was fortunate enough to meet Will and Journey at the same time two years ago, and since then we’ve become family. I’m so excited to be part of their lives and wedding and I can’t wait for the big day to celebrate them!”

Erica Schultz

I'm Erica, Journey's big Sis. We became family when her mother and my father met, about 13 years ago. I got to experience a lot of big moments in her life and I'm over the moon to see her marrying her love Will, who is also a wonderful addition to our family. We've traveled to a lot of wonderful places with our family and hold on to all those great memories. I can't wait to see all the new memories that Will and her will make together!

Madeline Wardlaw

Bridesmaid

“In 2018, Journey & I met as lonely college freshman & were instantly attached at the hip. She quickly redefined friendship for me & I can’t thank her enough for the support and unconditional love. She is one of the most genuine, caring, and talented people i’ve ever met & i’m so proud to call her my friend. I’m very grateful to have had the privilege of watching the beginnings of her & Wills beautiful relationship, & now i’m so excited to watch them tie that knot! I can’t wait to see the beautiful life they build together & all of the many things they will accomplish. All the love to both Journey & Will!!!
