Wedding Party
Elizabeth Gobin
Maid of Honor
Elizabeth is the girlfriend of the bride's brother. From day one, Elizabeth and Shannon clicked. Elizabeth easily felt like a "sister" and Shannon knew one day she would be a part of her wedding day in some way. Her spunky personality and love for Shannon's brother is what Shannon loves most about Elizabeth. She brings a light into every room she walks in and knows how to get the party started. Obviously, the bride could not say "I do" without Elizabeth standing right by her side and bringing her personality to life.
Mallory Shaffer
Bridesmaid
Mallory is the Groom's sister-in-law. Shannon & Mallory became instantly close from the day they met and there on. With their love for coffee and family, there was no doubt in a long-lasting friendship. The bride is beyond thankful for a friendship that will soon turn into family because of the Groom & his brother's smart choices in women. LOL. On a real note though, Shannon is very thankful to share this day with Mallory by her side when she says her "I Do" and gain a sister in the process!
Shelby Detwiler
Bridesmaid
Shelby is the Bride's cousin. Shelby and Shannon grew up miles and miles apart, but in the last few years, they were able to grow closer together during family vacations and more. Shannon is beyond blessed to have Shelby stand by her side on her special day. Hopefully by the end of the night you'll see her "sailing with captain". IYKYK. Shannon cannot wait to say "I Do" alongside Shelby and party the night away with her!
Lizzy Shaffer
Bridesmaid
Lizzy is the Groom's twin sister. Shannon first met Lizzy at a family function and they connected right off the bat. Lizzy and Bryan are alike in more ways than one so without a doubt, Shannon became a fan. Shannon & Lizzy grew close as time went on and their personalities aligned. Every time Shannon & Lizzy are in a room together, you can expect to laugh as they bring out the best in every one. Lizzy is very outgoing, funny, and brings the party when she is around. Saying "I Do" would not be the same without Lizzy by her side and the bride is very thankful to get to do so while also gaining another sister!
Grace Buck
Bridesmaid
Grace is the Groom's younger sister, but not by much. Shannon also first met Grace at a family function and was drawn by Grace's personality. Grace also knows how to bring the party, but more importantly, she knows how to bring style. If you don't see Grace tearing up the dance floor, the night was not a success. Grace and Shannon share a love for wine and having a night full of fun. Shannon cannot wait to have Grace standing by her side to say her "I Do" and gain a third sister all in one day!
Jeffrey Shaffer
Best Man
Jeffrey is the Groom's older brother. There was no doubt in Bryan's mind for choosing Jeffrey as his Best Man! Bryan & Jeffrey share the love of hunting, fishing, and all things outdoors, but they also share good taste in women. HAHA. On a serious note though, Bryan would not want another man to stand right by his side as he marries the love of his life rather than Jeffrey. The Bride is so grateful for Jeffrey to finally become her brother-in-law as he also means so much to her & their family! Jeffrey also knows how to bring on a good party. You bet you'll be seeing him with a beer or two on the dancefloor all night long!
Jacob Detwiler
Groomsman
Jacob is the Bride's brother. Shannon and Jacob grew up very close with the love of sports and family. Shannon could not say her "I Dos" without her sidekick by her side. Jacob loves and cares for everyone he meets so deeply and the bride is beyond thankful for the bond they share each and everyday. Without a doubt, you will see Jacob on the dance floor with a drink in his hand as his sister gets married to her best friend. The bride loves Jacob with all she has and more and her wedding day would not be the same without him by her side!
Drew Detwiler
Groomsman
Drew is the Bride's twin from another mother. Drew and Shannon were forced to live miles apart, but that never stopped them from becoming so close. The Bride could never imagine saying her "I Dos" without her best friend standing along side her & the Groom on their special day! Shannon & Drew even having matching tattoos that say "double trouble" so that should explain it all! LOL! We cannot wait to see Drew party up the night with us!
Zack Stiles
Groomsman
Zack is Lizzy's fiancé and the Bride & Groom's soon to be brother-in-law. Zack was obviously chosen as part of the family, but he also means a lot to the Bride & Groom! Zack is the chilliest guy you'll meet out of the crew, but when he gets a few drinks into him, you bet you'll also see him having a good time. Zack is another one who loves hunting and chillin with the guys so you know he became part of the crew instantly! The Bride & Groom are beyond thankful to be gaining Zack as a brother-in-law!
Jared Buck
Groomsman
Jared is Grace's Husband, the Bride & Groom's other brother-in-law! Jared was also picked as a part of the family, but he brings more than that! Jared loves to have a good time and obviously we are planning to do so, so watch us do just that along side Jared. The Groom & Jared also share lots of interests in the outdoors & hunting so this was a no brainer to be adding him to the crew. We cannot wait to see Jared bring out his dance moves for this night in particular!
Lake Shaffer
Ring Bearer
Lake is Mallory & Jeffrey's oldest son who will definitely be dressed to impress the ladies! Lake is an ornery little fella, but the day wouldn't be fun without him! We love him to pieces and can't wait to see him light up the dance floor with his lil county boy dance moves!
Riggs Shaffer
Ring Bearer
Mr. Riggs is Mallory & Jeffrey's youngest son who will be bringing style on the Bride & Groom's special day. Catch Riggs & Lake in their little suits, ties, sunglasses, and badges while protecting the most important package... THE RINGS! We cannot wait see these boys dressed to impress!
Payton Shaffer
Flower Girl
Payton is Mallory & Jeffrey's oldest daughter & Bryan's oldest niece who Shannon can also not wait to gain into the family! Payton is the quieter one of the group, but she knows how to bring princess energy and love like no other. We cannot be anymore grateful to have her as another flower girl on our special day!
Everley Shaffer
Flower Girl
Everley is Mallory & Jeffrey's youngest daughter and Bryan's youngest niece, which will soon be Shannon's as well! Everley brings the sassiest bit of love into the bridal party, and that's what we love most about her. Miss Everley will look like a princess & act like one too. HAHA. We cannot wait to have Everley as one of our flower girls on our special day!
Brooklynn Shaffer
Flower Girl
Brooklynn is the Bride & Groom's baby girl. Their day would not be made whole without their everything walking down the aisle throwing flowers in her mini white & gold gown. Brooklynn Lauretta is the Bride and Groom's whole world and no "I Do's" would be said without her by their side on their special day!
Tim Guyer
Officiant
Tim is Shannon's Uncle. Tim has been a part of Shannon's religious life since she was a little girl. The Bride couldn't imagine having anyone else marrying her & her soon to be husband. The Bride & Groom are beyond thankful to have him be a part of their big day!
Tammy Detwiler
Mother of the Bride
Tammy is the brides built in best friend and mother all in one. The one who has been there through every high, every low, every mistake, and every success. Her love has been the one constant she could always count on, and she will never be able to fully express how grateful she is for that. Tammy shaped Shannon into the woman she is today. She taught her strength when life felt hard, kindness when the world felt cruel, and courage when she doubted herself. So much of who she is, is because of the love, wisdom, and example Tammy sets every single day. Shannon wants to thank Tammy for sacrificing, encouraging, listening, and believing in her even when she struggled to believe in herself. She carries her lessons and love with her in everything she does. No matter how old she gets, Shannon will always need her mama. Her safe place, her biggest supporter, and her greatest inspiration. The bride loves her more than words could ever say.
Tom Detwiler
Father of the Bride
Tom is Shannon’s father who will be walking her down the aisle on one of the most important days of her life. Shannon would like to thank him for being her protector, her teacher, and one of the greatest examples of love and strength she has ever known. From the very beginning, he has guided her with patience and has supported her without hesitation. As she heads into her wedding day, she realizes how much of the woman she has become is because of the way he raised her. Tom gave her the confidence to believe in herself and the reassurance that no matter where life takes her, she will always have a home in his heart! She is thankful for every sacrifice he made, every lesson he taught her, and every moment he stood beside her through life’s journey. She knows letting go is not easy, but his love and guidance will always remain a part of her. No matter how old she gets or where life leads her, she will always be his little girl. She is incredibly grateful to have him by her side on this unforgettable day!
Anne Serafin-Shaffer
Mother of the Groom

Peg is Bryan’s step mom. She has always been someone we can appreciate for the care and support she gives. She brings kindness, patience, and strength into our family, and I’m grateful for the role she plays in our lives!
Jeff Shaffer
Father of the Groom
Jeff’s love and support have been a compass through every turning point. His belief in us comes in quiet words and thoughtful advice. Jeff shaped Bryan into the man & father he is today. Though they haven’t always been side by side, his presence has been felt in every decision and every small victory. The bride and groom appreciate the times he made the effort to show up, the sacrifices he made from afar, and the trust he placed in their relationship. His love has been enough! He has taught Bryan strength, kindness, and how to love well in return. They are thankful for him always being there!
Connie Guyer
Our "Something Blue"
This is Shannon's grandmother. Connie is the last living grandparent between the Bride and the Groom. Without a doubt, the Bride & Groom knew they wanted to make it special so they decided to make her their "Something Blue before I Do"!
