Shannon & Bill in Rehoboth Beach, DE

After buying a vacation home in Bethany Beach, Delaware, Shannon and Bill spent many a weekend painting and working around the house. The Bride Shannon Madigan, 33, controller The Groom Bill Magro, 55, senior vice president The Date August 19 One day, Shannon came home to a dozen red roses and a housewarming card. Bill then asked her if she’d consider moving a large portrait they’d just hung over the fireplace to see how it would look on another wall. Shannon reluctantly agreed, and it’s a good thing she did: Behind the portrait, Bill had painted a hidden message that read, “Will you marry me? Love, Bill.” Because the area meant so much to Shannon and Bill, it was only natural for the couple to plan their wedding along the Delaware shore.
