Samuel and Ashleigh attended Linganore high school together but didn’t know one another. In April of 2016, Ashleigh was out with friends when they ran into another friend who was talking to Samual. “We went out a couple of times but things weren’t really that serious until July when we decided to give the serious dating thing a shot.”
“Sam came home one day and told me he was ready to get married. He didn’t have a ring but he was ready to be my husband. I said, ‘let’s do it!’ A few weeks later, I got home from work and he was waiting for me with a little red box sitting on the coffee table. He got down on one knee and proposed.”
20 guests attended their April ceremony on the portico of Holly Hills Country Club, including four groomsmen and five bridesmaids. “We didn’t set up chairs, we didn’t have an arbor, the columns on the balcony overlooking the golf course and the mountains made for a perfect backdrop. I’m very no frills, so it was perfect.”
“Planning a wedding in three weeks was honestly my favorite part. After the ceremony, everyone came into the main dining room for light Hors D’oeuvres and a wine and beer bar. Then we all headed to a local restaurant where we invited our extended family to help celebrate our wedding day. We ended with a bar crawl in Downtown Frederick.”
Sam is a telecommunications tower climber for MasTech Network Solutions and Ashleigh is an assistant manager at Maxwell’s Kitchen in Downtown Frederick. They currently reside in Sykesville.
