Shannon & Matt's Wedding - Geraldo's at LaSalle Park

Shannon and Matt hold a special place in my heart. Shannon is a kick-ass lady-entrepreneur, giving the best financial advice in town (seriously, contact her). Not only is she excellent at her job, but part of what makes Shannon different, is that her personality shines like the sun. When you think you'll be in tears over the number of cappuccinos you charged last month, you'll actually end up having fun (crazy, I know!). I know I went on about this when I posted Shannon and Matt's engagement photos, but I just can't say enough about it, so #sorrynotsorry (same for using a hashtag in my blog post).

Shannon and Matt had a gorgeous summer wedding at Geraldo's at LaSalle Park in Burlington. They did not want to see one another until the aisle and, let me tell you, it was worth the wait. It is truly inspiring when two people who've known each another since high school can still strike this much excitement, admiration, and genuine enthusiasm for one another. Matt literally clasped his heart when he saw her. Shannon's whole being was overflowing with happiness... Love.

Anyway, clearly I was and still am affected by the emotion. I'll try to wrap it up, but want to mention one more thing...

Not only was this entire crowd one of the most fun, party-loving groups I've been with (the speeches had me crying and laughing), but Shannon and her dad choreographed an amazing dance to a mashup of songs including the themes to Star Trek, James Bond, and Monty Python. It was. The. Best.

Please Enjoy.

Matt and Shannon, thank you for being awesome, and spreading awesomeness across the world. My heart swells at the memory of your wedding day.
