Hannah Bewick Marc Perry &

Hannah Bewick and Marc Perry met in the summer after 8th grade at the St. Anthony’s picnic in Dunmore. Since that night, their friend groups merged and the group enjoyed almost every weekend together. Hannah and Marc became fast friends and remained so all through high school. After graduation, the pair would visit each other at college and on school breaks. They did not begin officially dating, however, until they were both 23 years old.

Hannah, daughter of Russ and Geri Featherby (and the late Patrick Bewick) graduated from North Pocono High School and West Chester University. She is a Business Development Specialist for Remedy Recruitment, LLC. Marc, son of Ron and Stephanie Perry, graduated from Dunmore High School and Wilkes University. He is a Senior Operations Specialist for Envestnet.

The couple enjoyed weekend trips to New York City at least twice a year. They particularly enjoyed dining at their favorite restaurant, Gnoccheria by Luzzo's. For the couple’s engagement, Marc had planned to propose after dinner, on a walk through the park. The couple’s parents knew of this plan but thought that Marc was going to propose before dinner. To help the couple celebrate, the parents ordered a bottle of champagne to be delivered to the couple’s table. When Marc and Hannah arrived, the waiters popped the champagne and offered congratulations. At first, Hannah laughed and informed them that they had the wrong table. After a few moments of confusion, Marc adjusted his plan, pulled out the ring and proposed early.

The couple married on November 5, 2022 at St. Eulalia’s Parish. A reception followed at Constantino’s.

When Hannah was just 6 years old, her father, Patrick Bewick, a Dunmore native, passed away. He knew Marc’s extended family very well and would have been ecstatic knowing that Hannah ended up marrying a “Dunmore Man.” Hannah wore charms with her dad’s photo on her heels so that “he could walk her down the aisle” along with her stepdad, Russ. One of the last pictures ever taken of Patrick is of him looking down at Hannah with a “light leak” surrounding him. Hannah and her family concluded that it was Patrick’s spirit watching over them. In addition to their “amazing wedding photographer, Rob Lettieri,” Hannah’s best friend, Sarah Wicker, also took photographs and polaroids. One polaroid was a photo of Hannah looking down at a framed picture of her dad. This was the only photo that developed a light streak around it as well, revealing to everyone that Patrick “approved and was with us all day,” said Hannah.

The couple said that their wedding day was “the best day ever.” Since their friends were all one united group, the pre-wedding parties were also “exceptionally fun.”

To signify “something borrowed” Hannah had the last pair of diamond earrings that her dad had purchased for her mom made into a neck-

Marc’s cousin provided her own wedding veil for Hannah to wear; this same veil will also be worn at another upcoming family wedding.

The couple took a honeymoon trip to Barbados. Today they enjoy cooking together, watching the NY Giants and the NY Yankees play in New York City, bourbon collecting and tasting, spending time by the pool with their friends.

The couple advises others planning a wedding to not sweat the small stuff. “Laugh off mishaps and enjoy the day. Be present; the day will fly by, but try to take a few moments to take it all in and appreciate it. Make sure to stay close to each other! It’s easy to get pulled apart, but make a conscious effort to mingle with oth-
