Catharine and David met in 2004 when they were seven and eight years old. “We lived two doors down from each other and practically grew up together. After several years, my family moved away and we lost touch. Then in the spring of 2017, David and I reconnected on Facebook and soon after made plans to meet up in person. We had no intention of getting romantically involved but fate had a different story to write. We began dating in January 2018.”
The couple got engaged in 2020 at a location special to Catharine. “Growing up I moved around too many times to count. My grandparent’s house was a place that always remained constant and always felt truly like home. David surprised me by taking me there and proposed to me on the front porch. It was very intimate and a truly special moment.”
Forty guests, including a ten-person wedding party, were in attendance for their October 2021 wedding at Cortland Mansion. “We had a traditional wedding ceremony. My grandfather walked me down the aisle. We both wrote our own individual vows. It was short, sweet, and full of love.”
David and Catharine chose pale pink and navy blue decor for their wedding. “David really liked navy blue as color and pale pink just went perfect. We definitely stuck to a formal setting. I loved when the dance floor opened up. The DJ played songs that everyone danced to, no matter what age. It was great seeing everyone having such a great time. We decided to have a micro wedding to make everyone feel safer. I think more people streamed the wedding on Zoom than those that were actually in attendance.”
David is a Portfolio Analyst and Catharine is a Purchasing Coordinator for a construction company in Frederick. They currently reside in Hagerstown.
