Kenneth and MaryAvery worked together at the Nike outlet in Hagerstown. “The first time we actually hung out was with a bunch of our work friends. It took about two months before we actually went out on our first, official date to grab dinner. He had me laughing the whole time. After that night, The rest was history.”
Kenneth proposed during a game of “dizzy bat” with friends. After blindfolding her and sinning her around, her friends scattered out of the house. Friends held signs that had “Mary Will You Marry Me?”
“Once she turned around and pulled the blindfold off, she immediately began to cry. She was in shock. There I was, down on one knee holding a ring. I had a small “Eiffel Tower” statue next to me- it was Mary’s dream as a little girl to get proposed there. So naturally, I had to make her dream come true in the best way I knew how.”
140 guests, including six bridesmaids and five groomsmen, attended their outdoor October nuptials. “Kenny and I are both very laid back, and we wanted that portrayed on our day. We also laid single white roses down on four chairs, in memory of our grandparents that could not be with us on that day.”
The couple chose a country rustic theme, using the colors gray and burgundy to set the tone. “I loved being able to incorporate some of my grandparent’s antiques into the decoration.”
Kenneth is a forklift mechanic at Alliance Material & Handling. MaryAvery is a CNA at Frederick Memorial Hospital. They currently reside in Middletown.
