Stephany and Jaime met through a friend from college. “Jaime was in the Marines at the time while I was starting my undergraduate in Kansas. We had a long-distance relationship for a while, but then Jaime finished his service for the Marines and joined me in college.”
Jaime proposed on the day of Stephany’s graduate school graduation party. “Jaime flew in from Kansas for my party and we were simply going site-seeing in DC with both of our moms. As we get to the Lincoln Memorial Steps my mom asks to take a picture of us. Then as I turned around, I noticed that our entire families were standing at the top of the Lincoln Memorial Steps holding a huge banner which read, ‘Will you marry me Princess? Stephany, be my happily ever after!’ and then I look down and Jaime is on one knee asking me to Marry him.”
112 guests, including seven bridesmaids and five groomsmen, helped to celebrate their August nuptials. “We integrated some readings in English and some in Spanish since our guests were a mix of English and Spanish speakers. We also incorporated a lasso ceremony, in which the lasso is placed around the bride and groom’s shoulders after they have exchanged their vows to symbolize their everlasting union.”
The couple chose a “formal, elegant, and romantic” theme for their decor. “Our colors were plum and silver with splashes of greenery.”
Stephany is a mental health therapist -Bride and the Jaime is a financial analyst. They currently reside in Germantown.
