Shannon & Tim | Discovery World & Old St. Mary’s Wedding

discovery world wedding cocktail cruise

Shannon & Tim have ties that bind them to places separated by half a world. He is from the UK and she from Wisconsin but their everyday reality and life together is out east here in the US. So for them the only thing they dreamed about for their wedding day was having all of their favorite people together in one place, a logistical minor miracle they were thrilled to see come to fruition this past August. Much of the wedding weekend played out in a very American fashion and Tim’s parents were delighted to note the differences here and there between British and American traditions. But little British tributes were easy to spot from the giant Union Jack Shannon’s beloved Nana flew on the flagpole at her estate where the rehearsal was held and where Shannon dressed for the wedding to the ubiquitous Pimm’s Cocktails enjoyed alongside Spotted Cows. The day itself was sunny and blue, the weather perfect for the planned cocktail cruise and drinks on the Pilot House deck overlooking the city. The lake showed off its talent for looking lovely and little (big) details about the day made everything come together in a heartfelt and joyful way for Shannon & Tim. Cardinal Dolan officiated their wedding mass and Shannon was surrounded by her brothers during the ceremony – one at her side, another in the choir loft offering sung prayers and another helping with altar duties alongside the Cardinal. Tim’s best friends and sisters made the long trip across the pond and everyone – Everyone – toasted and danced in celebration of Shannon & Tim. So really, all that is left to write is

Cheers to Love and may you have many years of Happily Ever After!
