Our Wedding

We went to elementary, middle, and high school together but did we speak a word to each other? Nope. Not even once! In Bryan's eyes, Sheila was the nice, shy, track star- and in Sheila's eyes, Bryan was the smart, quiet, football player. That's it. All until the college parties came along, and yes, a few drinks to loosen both of us "quiet, shy" people up. That's when our story really began. We opened up and got really close at parties. Then Sheila moved in with Alan (best man) and a bunch of other goons to a house in West Chester. Bryan and Alan are best friends, so of course Bryan was over every weekend and we became "the 3 best friends that anyone could be." There was more to Sheila and Bryan's friendship though, which we embraced while drinking but pretended it never happened while we were sober. This lasted for years! We were only "best friends". Best friends who put each other in the spotlight every night out, that only wanted to dance with each other and zone the rest of the world out. Best friends that only told each other our deepest secrets, snuggled from dusk until dawn, and even kissed from time to time (scandalous!). Finally, after a good 10 years of being just "best friends", we acknowledged it was more! Call it maturity, call it the universe aligning on time, call it dropping our stubbornness or admitting our truths, whatever it was... we admitted to being more than best friends and actually started dating. And the rest is history! Countless dates, laughters, adventures, a house, 2 fur babies, and a beautiful little girl later, we are excited to finally be announced to the world as husband and wife &lt;3

Nothings to friends to best friends to lovers.

Our Story

Photos

My sister, best friend, best everything. If there's ever someone you want by your side, it's this girl right here. She is fierce, loyal, brave, kind, and understanding. If she weren't my sister, she'd still be my best friend in the whole wide world. She reminds me that there needs to be more laughter in each day, has shown me how to be a great mother, and has loved Bryan from day one. She's fought the fiercest battles and still holds onto her smile- there is no one else I would rather have by my side on our big day. Bryan and I love you Faloopa!  XO, Toots.

Bryan and Alan grew up together from elementary school on. Alan and his brothers were the brothers Bryan never had but always wanted. There was never a dull moment amongst them. They were always out and about getting into trouble just to have a good time. If one was behind bars, soon followed the other- they always had each other's back... Whether that's a good or bad thing is left for interpretation. Alan always keeps in touch, no matter where life takes them. Bryan can always count on him to make any situation into a party. Alan has also been one of Sheila's closest friends since college. We are so excited to have Alan by our side on our big day!

Alan "Illy" McCarthy

A friendship that started with a bond over Fun Dip and laughter at spray on deodorant, Katie has been one of my best friends since middle school. She is a beautiful soul. She's the person who sparked my passion and courage for travel. She is my #1 supporter in whatever goals, life paths, or wild plans I come up with. Her house was my safe haven growing up when things were tough. I was in her wedding some 10 years ago and can't imagine my wedding day without her. Thank you Katie,  for being one of my biggest cheerleaders and the truest of friends. I love you endlessly. 

Katie Vasaturo

Tommy was Bryan's first friend when he moved to Honey Brook. Tommy's dad was his first football coach and Tommy's mom made the best Sunday breakfasts that Bryan has ever had. He still raves about her cooking at 32 years old. Tommy and Bryan bonded over football and anime. He was the friend that cultivated Bryan's love for video games and all things "nerd". Tommy is often "bitchin" but he's always the friend that Bryan can count on to lend a hand, he always goes out of his way to help. He's the most level headed friend of the group. 

Tommy Delrossi

I can't remember a time I called Andrea my 'friend'. For as long as I can remember, I've referred to her as my other sister. Our Mom's didn't know what they were getting themselves into when they introduced us in the wombs while both pregnant. Inseparable from the start. There are some people you just have a connection with and it doesn't matter how much time passes, you always feel the same. Andrea holds the key to my deepest laughters (which we call scream laughs) and so many of my happy childhood memories. She and her family are my family. I can't picture being married without her by my side!  I love you Ann, XO, Sheila LMC

Andrea Alenovitz

Aka Zim. Bryan and Zim became friends playing football together in youth football and continued to play all throughout high school together. This helped foster their shared love for the Eagles. Zim and Bryan were roomates together all throughout college, you can bet they have quite the stories. Bryan was Zim's best man in his wedding a few years ago.  Zim always has Bryan's back. He's the friend that keeps the crowd on their toes with a good laugh when needed. He's the wild card, always full of surprises. Thank you, Zim, for agreeing to be part of our day!

Oh the memories. A friendship of 24 years and counting, I can't imagine a world without this chic. She's been there for me through the worst of times and the best of times. She is the friend that drops everything to be there for someone else, especially me. We've traveled some of the world together, spent too many nights in my parents basement watching movies and eating Ben & Jerry's, and we always, always make time for each other. Karissa gets to my core, she's real, she's deep, she cares more than others- one of her best qualities. She holds the keys to my best car ride and karaoke singing voices, which if you know me, that's my heart. Karissa you're a huge part of my heart & I love you forever. Even Bryan loves you. And Big Guy says "you're aiight, Shorty" so you know you're a good one ;) XO

Karissa Hannum

You'll never hear Bryan or any of the other groomsmen refer to him as "Matthew"... it's strictly "Boobie", a nickname Bryan and the rest of the crew made up stemming from Berube. Bryan and Boobie became friends in early elementary school and have never lost touch ever since. They too share a love for football, of course. It doesn't matter how much time passes, they always pick up right where they left off and would talk until the sun comes up if no one yelled at them to pipe down ;). Boobie is always the friend that says yes to a good time. He treats the people he loves and supports whatever life path they take. We're happy to have him help us celebrate our marriage! 

Matthew Berube

My beautifully, artistic, inspirational, kick ass human being of a friend, Amy. I couldn't do life without you ever again. You hold the keys to more of my childhood laughter. Even in adulthood you make me forget about the stressors of the real world, you help me find the fun in every situation, and you will purposely fall out of your chair if it means you make everyone smile. You're my good time friend, but also my favorite travel partner, food partner, wine partner, and more. You can find the most beautiful part of any scene, your independence and drive to explore inspires me. You're my person. Keep living life off the beaten path and exploring all the beauty this world has to offer. I love you more than you'll ever know! Thank you for standing by my side on this big day and always <3

Amy Batog

Another one of Bryan's oldest friends that also shares a love for all things football and sports. To this day still they often get together surrounding sports events. One of Bryan's favorite pastimes was the Turkey Bowl at Pat's parents house. In Bryan's words, Pat is a "sophisticated whipper snapper". He's quick to the punch but you can miss it if you're not as sharp as he is. He's the stand up guy, the benchmark that everyone is always compared to. Growing up everyone's parents at least at one point or another had said "why can't you be more like Pat?" He's another friend that's around for the good times. He's always there to support his friends in life's big moments. We're happy to have Pat along our side for one of our biggest moments!

We have the lovely Katie to thank for our friendship. We were both in her wedding and hit it off from day one. We struck up conversation and haven't shut up since! Seriously, ten years later and we still have weekly phone calls always lasting over 20 minutes ;). Alyssa is charismatic, empathetic, caring, and selfless. With one word, she is always there, whether it be to lend a hand to help or an ear to listen. She embraces all of my clumsiness, all of my jam out singing car sessions, and my 24/7 hunger obsession. We've gone through big life challenges at similar times and have grown so close in bonding and growing through those moments together. I'm so lucky to have her as a forever friend and am honored she'll be by my side on this big day. I love you Alyssa, you're stuck with me!

Alyssa Hahn

An unforeseen friendship was Hayden who came into Bryan's life during college. They dormed together in their freshman year and later pledged to the same fraternity where their friendship continued. Hayden always made Bryan laugh with his unique fashion sense, goofy personality, and lack of cooking skills. It took them some time but they slowly matured together throughout college and remain close friends now years after. Bryan was one of Hayden's groomsmen in his wedding just last year. We are excited for Hayden to be part of our wedding as well!  

Hayden Snyder

The girl who made me an aunt, the first baby to ever capture my heart instantaneously. Ava brings a smile to every situation. She makes me a very proud Aunt as she walks through the world with so much wisdom, strength, and courage for a girl that's just 11 years old. She loves and welcomes people for who they are, not what others say. She's loyal to those she loves most and I am so happy to have shared so many memories with her. Bryan and I love her without a doubt, we're excited for her to share this day with us! <3

Ava Lynn

This little guy also stole my heart when he was born. As early as I can remember, Jarrad's face was full of a smile. To this day, he smiles so big it's hard to tell if he can even see! In addition to his infectious smile, he is tough, loves exploring, is full of energy, and likes to keep us on our toes. He's also become Bryan's shadow over the past few years. He quickly loved Bryan and it's sweet watching him look to Bryan for approval and for fun when he's around. He's also in love with Baby Amia. His heart is kind and genuine. I love this nephew of mine <3

Jarrad Michael

The girl that rocks our world. Never have we known a deeper love, a sweeter smile, or a more magical hug until Amia came into this world. She completes us, she makes us better people, and she shows us all the beauty the world has to offer. Throughout my pregnancy and her entrance to the world we learned of her strength. She is fierce, she is perfect. She started her reign from the day she entered the world and we're loving every minute of it. We can't thank God and the universe enough for giving us the sweetest (and sassiest), most beautiful girl in the world. Our big day wouldn't be complete without her, the true star of the show!
