NBC COUPLE GETS MARRIED AT SHAWNEE

Mr. Tyler Mathisen and Ms. Joanne Lamarca tied the knot at The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort on Saturday, June 5, 2004. The couple came to Shawnee because Joanne had visited Shawnee in the past (with NBC) and remembered falling in love with the resort and the view of the river. The agenda was to have the ceremony on the banks of the Delaware River, 100 yards from the Inn's main entrance. Unfortunately, Mother Nature had other plans and it rained.The couple dealt with the circumstances just fine, the ceremony was moved to the Inn's charming veranda and the reception was in the Ballroom. Mandy Cunard, Director of Catering, swears that, "after all, rain on the wedding day is considered good luck, it ensures that crops will grow and bountiful crops insure that the couple will eat and prosper."

Tyler Mathisen is one of the chief anchors for CNBC's "Closing Bell."Before joining CNBC in 1997, Mathisen spent 15 years as a writer, senior editor and top editor at "Money" magazine. Among his duties, he supervised the magazine's mutual funds coverage; its annual investment forecast issue and its expansion into electronic journalism, for which it won the first-ever National Magazine Award for New Media in 1997. In 1993, Mathisen won the American University / Investment Company Institute Award for Personal Finance Journalism for a televised series on "Caring for Aging Parents," which aired on "Good Morning America." Mathisen served as money editor of the series from 1991 to 1997. He also won an Emmy Award for a report on the 1987 stock market crash that aired on New York's WCBS-TV. "Closing Bell" represents a new approach to the network's coverage of the close of the broad markets. Ms. Joanne Lamarca is also a big name for NBC. Lamarca is one of the producers for the Today show. Joanne is very proud to work for the Today Show, since it is celebrating its 50th year of transmission and seems poised to stay close to the heart of all Americans for the next 50 years. Katie Couric and Matt Lauer are the co-anchors while Al Roker and Ann Curry play the supporting roles of news anchors.

The wedding celebration turned out to be picture perfect. Lamarca looked absolutely stunning and all 180 elite guests had a superb time. The guest list included distinguished reporter Geraldo Rivera and also friends from InStyle and Time magazines. The Shawnee Inn congratulates Mr. and Mrs. Mathisen and wishes them the best of luck.
