10 Sep, 2022The story of our wedding
We got engaged on September 22, 2021 in Philly where we live with our cat, David, which was actually our dating anniversary. The moment was very intimate--just the two of us overlooking the river near our home in Fairmount. It was exactly what I wanted and so us! It also was a long time coming since we had been together for seven years :)
I knew I wanted to get married the following year, so I actually emailed the alumni chapel of our alma mater, Loyola University Maryland, THAT NIGHT for availability. I meant business! We were able to reserve it for the following September, which we were both very pleased with.
I dove right into wedding planning and actually enjoyed it for the most part. My husband... not so much! But we worked on some of the trickier things together--like the seating chart and the logistics of the day. We could not have pulled it off without our amazing and organized wedding planner, Jen Carson of J Carson Events, who started working with us three months prior to the big day.

We have so many fond memories walking on the quad together and sitting on the Humanities Porch, so it really worked out to be a great setting for all the pictures.
After tying the knot in the Alumni Chapel, we shuttled to our reception at Hunt Valley Country Club in Phoenix, Maryland. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and we could not have asked for better weather. The drinks and food were delicious, and our guests really seemed to enjoy themselves.
Our DJ killed it and really kept everyone on the dance floor. Our photographers and videographer captured the most precious and perfect moments. Hunt Valley's staff was fabulous and very attentive. We had the most amazing day and wish we could relive it over and over again!
