Wedding Party

Lillie Deery
Lillie Deery - Maid of Honor
Lillie has known the bride since 4th grade and whether its late night drives or two hour nail appointments Shannon knows she can always count on her!
Krysten Peterson
Krysten Peterson - Bridesmaid
Krysten has known both Shannon and Stephen since the beginning of college. Now there has been some debate on who's friends she was first, but all I'm going to say is look who's side she is standing on.
Alex Kusznir
Alex Kusznir - Bridesmaid
Alex met Shannon when they were both taking a college health class and needed someone to study with who would actually study. From there they found out they were both education majors and quickly became friends. Now whether it's a Sex in City marathon or a winery visit, Shannon knows who to call.
Nora Ilyes
Nora Ilyes - Bridesmaid
Nora and Shannon met while dancing at the Mount. They were both on the dance team and eventually were captains together. Whether it is working out difficult choreography together or just running around being silly Shannon always knows she has Nora!
Chris Lindsey
Chris Lindsey - Best Man
If you've ever seen Chris and Stephen together in person, you know their bromance runs deep. (So deep, in fact, that Shannon tries not to be jealous.) Who would've thought that a Marine and Army officer would be best friends? Keep an ear out for his best man speech, which will no doubt be filled with embarrassing tales from our college days. The wedding day wouldn't be complete without Chris' unforgettable presence.
Hugh Kinsey
Hugh Kinsey - Groomsmen
After meeting in college, Hugh and Stephen went from singing together to being best friends in virtually no time at all. As time has passed that shared love of music has never faded. We all love Hugh's huge heart, awesome sense of humor, and perfect dance moves and can't wait for him to break them out on the day!
Drew Wertz
Drew Wertz - Groomsmen
Drew and Stephen met on the field playing soccer together in college and quickly became inseparable - bonding over their shared love of unique beers, and of course all things soccer! Drew also loves a good debate about anything and everything, so be sure to find him on the day if you're up for a good conversation (that's if you can keep up!).
Alex Sweeney
Alex Sweeney - Groomsmen
Alex has been one of Stephen's best friends for over a decade now after first meeting way back in 6th grade. From the moment they met, Alex welcomed Stephen into his family with open arms and made him feel right at home! They've since shared many a heated basketball game, Ravens vs Steelers football games, and Miley Cyrus fueled karaoke sessions (with many more to come!) He has an infectious laugh and can always crack us up with his silly jokes.
Addison Diamond
Addison Diamond - Flower Girl
Addie and Shannon have been close since Addie was born. So, it would only make sense that Addie would play a role in Shannon and Stephen's special day!
