Shannon is the most helpful and fun mom that a girl could ask for. Although now that Kali is an adult, they are more like sisters. They share everything together and are always FaceTiming or texting. Shannon is a person that would much rather be outdoors and loves taking on new adventures. She’s a very determined woman and doesn’t let any obstacles stop her from achieving her goals. She has been so helpful and supportive of Kali and Andy over the years and we know that Kali could not live without her mom!

We are truly happy that him and Andy get to reminisce on memories when Andy was younger and relate to each other about camping and sports cars.

Mike is our MC (Master of Ceremonies) of the day as he will introduce the bride and groom, thank the staff/guests/venue/caterer, and make any announcements during the event so that the guests are kept up with the timeline.
