Brittany and Meagan met in 2017 at Penn State through a mutual friend. “The first time we met, we spent time together at Meagan’s apartment and shared a bottle of wine while we watched re-runs of the hit 90’s TV show, The Amanda Show. We immediately hit it off and have since then visited Penn State together every year since we met.”
Meagan had been planning her proposal to Brittany for months and had contemplated the best location for the big day. “I originally had planned to propose in Ireland, as we had a trip planned, but instead proposed at the site of our first date- Barley & Hops in Frederick, MD. Little did I know that Brittany had been planning a proposal at the same time. Just a few days later during our Ireland trip, she got down on one knee in the middle of the Guinness Storehouse Gravity Bar in Dublin. Our family told us it was very difficult to keep everything a secret when they knew both proposals were planned around the same timeframe. Now it is something we laugh about and is a true testament to how in sync we are with one another.”
100 guests, including an eight-person wedding party, were in attendance for their outdoor May wedding, which included a traditional Celtic hand-fasting ceremony. “Brittany and I chose my parent’s home in Middletown, MD as our wedding venue because it had a beautiful view of Middletown Valley and provided a 3.5-acre lot to host a large group of people. It was the most picture-perfect wedding we could have ever dreamt of.”
The couple chose a spring color palette of sage green, blush, and masala. “We were going for a laid-back wedding and requested guests wear garden party attire such as sundresses or floral prints. We minimized formality and encouraged our guests to have a good time.”
Meagan is a systems engineer for the U.S. Navy and Brittany is a mortgage loan officer assistant for Fulton Bank. They currently reside in Middletown.
