& MeggiLouisDonnellyGianacopoulos

Meggi Donnelly met Louie Gianacopoulos in grade school while attending St. Patrick’s in West Scranton. Their first trip down the aisle was in first grade when they were in a Christmas pageant playing the role of Mary and Joseph. They reconnected in 2018 while out with mutual friends. Meggi, daughter of Bill and Mari Donnelly, graduated from West Scranton High School. She earned a bachelor’s degree in human development and family studies from Penn State University. She also earned a master’s degree in school counseling from the University of Scranton.

Louie, son of Lou and Donna Gianacopoulos, graduated from Holy Cross High School, and earned a bachelor’s degree in marketing from King’s College. He is a technical recruiter at TEK Systems.

Louie arranged a surprise proposal and presented Meggi with a beautiful, pear shaped diamond. He planned an engagement party at their home for friends and family.

The couple’s wedding was held September 24, 2022 at St. Patrick’s Church, the same church that the couple had received all of their sacraments. The mass and wedding ceremony was prepared by a personal friend of Louie’s from Holy Cross High School, Fr. Brian Clarke. A bagpiper played while the couple and guests exited the church, a nod to Meggi's Irish Heritage.

A reception was held at Glen Oak Country Club in Waverly. The theme was Grand Millennial with the focus on pinks and blue floral Everything was carefully planned by the bride using all local vendors. The couple chose a local band that entertained all ages present.

In his spare time Louie enjoys restoring older cars with his father.

Meggi enjoys working out, spending time with her niece and nephews and playing with her furbaby, Holly. A honeymoon to Mexico is planned for November. H
