Wye River Wedding

Over Labor Day weekend we stayed at the Marriott in Queenstown on the Wye River for a wedding.

 

The grounds were lovely and the ceremony site looked like it was out of a storybook.

 

Each table was named after a local body of water.

 

There were lots of Maryland items on the menu like crab cakes and Smith Island Cake.

It was such a fun weekend spent with friends...here's to the bride and groom who will be fishing partners for life! xx

Melinda Farm Wedding

Guests gathered at the historic farm for a five o'clock ceremony.

 

Each bridesmaid selected their own nude dress.

 The ceremony was preformed by the groom's father.

There were so many lovely views of the property.  

 

Cocktail hour was on the lawn and than everyone headed down to the tent.

 

ESW & JCW

Chef Expressions did a wonderful job with the food. Dinner was very relaxed with stations and an amazing band that really set the party mood.

Here's to the bride & groom...may your lifetime be filled with love, happiness and lots of laughter. Much love! xx

Milton Inn Rehearsal

One of JCW's childhood friends got married here in Maryland, the first weekend in June. The weather that weekend was spectacular and it was such a treat to spend time outdoors.

The couple's ceremony and reception was held at Melinda Farm which is right across the street from Sagamore Farm.

 

After rehearsing everyone headed to The Milton Inn for dinner.

They had a cocktail hour on the patio followed by an intimate dinner in the blue room.

 

Barn Wedding

We attended a beautiful barn wedding in Monkton, Maryland this month.

ESW & JCW



Clementine was the caterer and did an truly fabulous job! All of the food was delicious and the specialty cocktails were incredible. Guests sipped on Dark n Stormies, Southsides, Basil Lime Elixirs, Red & White Sangria and Booze Bullets.

After dinner the party really got started with stops for cake, a piñata and fireworks!


The bride serenaded her groom with Crazy Love.

Special thanks to the newlyweds for including us in your special day. You continue to inspire us with your creativity, energy and many talents...we love you both! xx

Sophie & Dave

Last month Sophie and Dave had an intimate wedding ceremony on the golf course at Greenspring Valley Hunt Club followed by a cocktail hour and reception.

After cocktail hour everyone headed into the tent. Sophie and Dave went for more of a party-like atmosphere with food stations and a great band.

Dance Floor

The bear was kind enough to hold my bouquet while I enjoyed the reception.

 

Our niece and nephew were the first to hit the dance floor. They had to live it up before their sitter came.  

 

Mr. H was the second on the dance floor and he never left but articles of his clothing did.

 

The band covered everything from current hits to some favorites from our youth.

There was a little 80's music...

 

some GNR...

and they didn't forget the classics.

E&E

The night ended with a Springsteen encore.

We couldn't have been happier with the music and are already planning on hiring Misspent Youth for an anniversary party down the road.

 

First Dance

One of our very first phones calls after setting the wedding date was to Misspent Youth. We love live music and had heard them play at a local fundraiser. They ended up having another gig but did some rearranging to play our wedding. They aren't your traditional wedding band, which is exactly what we wanted.

  

We were planning on dancing to Bright Side of the Road  for our first dance, but both agreed we could opt out of the first dance entirely if we weren't feeling it on the day of wedding. The idea of all eyes on us wasn't something we were totally comfortable with so during cocktail hour, we scratched first dance. Randomly we started dancing to Living on Prayer and everyone gathered around us.

 

 

It was next to impossible to pick just one song that represented us. There are so many songs that remind us of one another. Now Living on a Prayer has taken on a whole new meaning, thanks to our guests that weren't willing to accept a wedding without a first dance. It's been fun, a little embarrassing and rather unexpected telling people that our first dance was to Bon Jovi's Living on Prayer and that there may or may not have been a tambourine involved.

  

Cape Charles Wedding

The last weekend in September we headed to Cape Charles for a wedding.

 After the lawn ceremony, it was time for cocktail hour.

The weather couldn't have been more perfect for an evening on the Chesapeake Bay.
