Thomas Cassano
FATHER OF THE BRIDE
The father who has been by Olivia’s side through every phase of life—her biggest cheerleader, her steady hand, and her safe place. There was never a moment she felt alone, because he made sure she never had to be. From childhood to adulthood, he’s been a constant source of love, wisdom, and unwavering support. Endlessly grateful for the little things that have meant so much: movie nights that turned into deep conversations and cooking nights filled with laughter and learning. His love doesn’t stop with her, it extends to Conor, too. He’s always kept both of them in mind, supporting their journey together with open arms and a full heart. It means the world to Olivia that he not only approves of Conor, but genuinely gets along with him. Their shared passion for the real estate industry has sparked a bond that goes beyond family ties. Knowing her dad respects and connects with the man she’s building a life with brings Olivia a deep sense of peace and joy. Olivia and Conor truly can’t imagine a world without him—and we never want to. His presence is a pillar in her life, and today, as she steps into a new chapter, she does so with the strength and love he’s given them every step of the way.

Robert Ryan
FATHER OF THE GROOM
The Irish soul with a big heart, Conor’s dad Bobby is the kind of person who connects effortlessly with everyone he meets. Friendly, genuine, and full of good sense of humor. Throughout Conor’s life, he’s been a role model of hard work and integrity. Conor has always admired his dad’s work ethic, learning not just how to succeed, but how to carry himself with humility and strength. Whether it was long days at work or late nights at the ball field, he showed up—supporting Conor through every baseball practice, game, and coaching moment with unwavering dedication. Some of Conor’s favorite memories are the simple ones: grabbing a beer together, sharing stories, and soaking in the wisdom his dad so naturally offers. And Olivia has felt that same warmth from the very beginning. He welcomed her into the family with open arms, making her feel loved and accepted from day one.
