Mallory Dawn Shields and Adam Joseph Capretta, both of Poland, were united in marriage June 18, 2011, in a beachfront ceremony at 5:30 p.m. at Palmetto Dunes Beach Resort. Carl Schroeder heard the exchange of vows for the daughter of Penny Jo and Gary Shields of Austintown and the son of Donna Capretta of Canfield and the late Ron Capretta.
