The I Do Crew
Vanessa
Maid of Honor
Co-maid of Honor and Shannon's honorary big sister! To know Vanessa is to love her; she is the most selfless, intelligent, and fun-loving girl. Vanessa also acts as our on call Martha Stewart, which every family need. Where Vanessa goes, Shannon follows... from college (go Hawks!) to twinning in LBI and sharing recipes. These two are inseparable!
Paulie
Best Man
Pete’s older brother, his partner in crime, and now his best man—Paulie has been by his side through every chapter of life. There’s no one else Pete would rather have standing next to him on one of the biggest days of his life!
Sarafina
Maid of Honor
The brides sister from another mister! Sara is Shannon's dance partner, confidant, biggest supporter, and calm to her storm. Let's be real... Sara is Shannon's on call therapist. The bride could not have done this without the love and support from her. There is nothing like a "sisterly" bond! At the wedding, you'll find these two tearing up the dance floor to Donna Summer's “Mac Arthur's Park”.
Oliver
Groomsman
More than just a cousin, Oliver has been a brother to Pete in every way that matters. Loyal, genuine, and always ready with a quick comeback or a helping hand, there’s no one else Pete would want standing beside him on this day.
Taylor
Bridesmaid
Pete's big sister AKA the girl that walked so Shannon could run! God put the bride and groom together so Taylor and Shannon could become best friends! The two of them have hit it off since day one. Shannon and Taylor share endless amount of laughs when together, mostly at Pete’s expense. She’s also mother to the ring bearer Patrick and you'll see her handsome counterpart, Manny, standing on Pete's side.
Manny
Groomsman
Manny became family the day he married Pete's sister Taylor but, over time he’s become a true friend as well. Whether it's sharing laughs at family gatherings or being someone Pete can count on (especially as a fellow Firefighter), he’s always brought positivity, guidance, and good energy into the mix. Pete’s proud to have him as part of the crew on this special day.
Jessica
Bridesmaid
Jess has been Shannon’s ride-or-die for over 25 amazing years! They first teamed up at School 5 Elementary, bonding over their love for mint chip ice cream, Girl Scouts, and cheerleading. Since then, they’ve taken their friendship on the road- jet-setting to New Orleans, California, Florida, Nashville, and pretty much anywhere fun can be found. Jess is the kind of friend who cheers you on, lifts you up, and always shows up with laughs, love, and a snack (charcuterie, hopefully). Shannon’s beyond grateful for the friendship she has with Jess and hopes to one day be family (wink, wink- Oliver).
Liam
Groomsman
Liam and Pete have been friends since way back- long before either of them knew how to make decent life choices. Over the years, they’ve survived bad haircuts, questionable adventures, and an alarming number of inside jokes that no one else understands (and probably shouldn’t). Liam’s the kind of friend who shows up, cracks a joke at Pete’s expense, and somehow still makes everything better.
Penelope
Flower Girl
Shannon's cousin Jackie & Andrew's beautiful daughter. She's here to steal the show! Fun Fact: Jackie was Shannon's mom's flower girl in 1991.
Patrick
Ring Bearer
Pete's nephew, godson, and biggest competition... for obvious reasons.
