The ceremony took place in front of 500 friends and family members, with a bride-to-groom invitee ratio of 8 to 1. The reception was held under a giant oak tree in his mother-in-law's yard (an idyllic setting and a big money saver). It was either a picture-perfect wedding or an experience so traumatic that it will take years to recover, depending on whom and when you ask. Shandon resides in Brooklyn, New York, with his wife, Sydney, and their son, Spence. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaul Kepple\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eJude Buffum\u003c\/b\u003e are better known as the Philadelphia-based studio Headcase Design.
