Maid of Honor
I’ll never forget the day Shannon and I got bunk beds. Shannon immediately tried to climb on the top bunk and pulled her arm out of its socket. We were forced to sleep head-to-toe on the bottom bunk for months. I guess it’s time I forgive you for that.

Sully and Shannon are some of my most caring, gracious friends, so I’m willing to overlook the fact that they’ve stolen my birthday weekend from me with their wedding.

One time I took the batteries out of the TV remote and put them in the Wii remote and Shannon didn’t tell on me, so thanks for that. #savedbyshannon

I love Sully and Shannon because they’re always loyal—like how Shannon is committed to Max Brenner whether in Boston or New York, and how Sully once wore a Giants jersey to Thanksgiving dinner with my Patriots-loving family.

I’m lucky to have inherited my love for music from Michael. As kids, it was hard to find a moment when he wasn’t singing. After having seen Michael perform in venues from our living room to our church basement, I can’t wait to see him and Shannon debut on their biggest stage yet, this June at St. Ignatius!

I used to think the only person that would ever be Shannon’s fellow roommate, Serafina date, co-proprietor of Club 424, snack lover, and relentless cynic was me. Then I met Michael and I couldn’t think of a better successor.

No one loves sports but is worse at them than Sully. Instead of playing basketball intramurals freshman year, he wore a yellow suit and basketball-themed tie to “coach” instead (we won, not to brag). I’m sure he’s relieved it won’t be him who has to run down the aisle!

I have had the honor of knowing Shannon since the early years of kindergarten. We have been through awkward hair cuts, school dances, and first dates together. Shannon has always been a person who will go for anything she sets her mind to. One of my favorite memories was when she attempted to ride my bike with no hands ending with beautifully scraped knees and elbows but the biggest smile!

Mike has come a long way from the days of telling me about his feelings for Shannon over Facebook Messenger. Years later, I’m overjoyed to see how their love has grown, and to be alongside them as they take their next step together.

I never expected to make friends for life in college, but then Shannon and Sully started driving me to the only Chick-fil-A in a 20-mile radius of BC, and I knew I could never let them go.

I never thought I’d be such close friends with a Giants fan or someone who refuses to see Pulp Fiction, but Michael and Shannon defy the odds, all while being some of the coolest people to boot.
Bridesmaid
The only good thing to ever come from a Marymount dance was Mike and Shannon’s relationship and that’s the hill I’ll die on.

Mike is the world's biggest Mets fan, and as a Red Sox fan, our mutual disdain for the Yankees has kept us close since our first day of high school. Congrats to Shannon and Mike!

I’ve treasured all of the hours I’ve spent with Sully and Shannon in the Heights office and out, discussing sports, debating the merits of Paul McCartney vs. Billy Joel, and referencing The Office. In between attending Star Wars opening nights and making long East Coast road trips with me, Shannon and Sully have always offered advice and words of wisdom on classes, careers, and life, and I couldn’t be more excited to celebrate two of my favorite people!
Groomsman
Mike is one of the more committed people I know, in relationships, at work, and especially in continuing to trek over to Citi Field, no matter how many times the previous Mets game leaves him questioning his sanity. I’m excited to see which jersey he wears in lieu of a wedding tux.

After I met Shannon and Sully I spent a year nervously staring at them from across a room, which I will always regret. Mercifully that passed, and I’ve found two people who mean more to me than I could cram into this sentence.

Bartolo Colon slapping dingers, eating Atomic Wings, swapping lunches in high school, and a fresh red sweatpants/Mets jersey combo—that’s what comes to mind when I think of Mikey.
