Alex and I met in college through mutual friends. We were both students at Goucher College during the big snowstorm of 2010 and because of all the snow, classes were canceled for almost a week straight.  During that time, we really started spending time together and developed a strong friendship. About 3 months later at Goucher’s annual “Get Into Goucher” day (a festival for the whole school with food, musical acts, and games) he kissed me and the rest is history!

It was Saturday, December 10, 2016.  He bought tickets for a lunchtime Spirit Cruise around the Inner Harbor. It was something I had always wanted to do and even though it was cold outside, it was really fun! Then he said he wanted to go “walk around” at Goucher for exercise. (I should’ve known something was up.) So we went over to the campus and started walking around and reminiscing.  Finally, we ended up at the chapel and decide to go inside. I start joking around about getting married there and playfully walking down the aisle.  When I got to the front, he starting making nervous jokes and finally he said “so, do I have to get down on one knee?” In complete shock, I said “well, that depends!”  He got down on one knee and proposed.

I have really enjoyed dreaming up our perfect day and working with the vendors to make it happen.

The wedding day is only one day and it is your day! I try to keep the perspective that it is only one day, so if things are not perfect, life will go on. Alex and I have also tried to stay true to what we want throughout the planning process. There is rarely another time in your life where you and your significant other get to throw a party for yourselves the way that you want!

I am looking forward to spending the day with everyone that we love and marrying my best friend!
