Adam and Taylor met in the Spring of 2016, at an Annapolis dock bar through mutual friends. “I really wasn’t looking to date anyone at the time and basically had to be forced to go out. However, I quickly warmed up to Adam’s charms.”
A few days before Christmas in 2018, the couple went to downtown Annapolis for what Taylor thought was some last-minute gift shopping. “Adam pointed out the Christmas tree downtown before we started shopping and I went to snap a photo of it. Little did I know that he was trying to get me into a predetermined spot in front of the tree to propose so that a hidden photographer could capture everything. After the proposal, Adam had arranged for some of my closest friends and family, including my 90-year-old grandmother, to share brunch with us. It was so much fun and unexpected.”
135 guests, including nine bridesmaids and 7 groomsmen helped the couple celebrate their nuptials at Ceresville Mansion in January 2020. “I absolutely loved the ceremony backdrop at Ceresville, with the flowers and candles adorning the fireplace mantle, and the chandelier reflecting in the mirror.”
“When we first spoke to Ceresville, we told them that the vibe we were going for was ‘elegant, but fun.’ It was black-tie optional, yet anything but stuffy. The colors were mostly whites and ivories, with a touch of dusty lavender. I used a mix of metallics for jewelry and decor to give everything a more vintage feel.”
Adam is a senior program manager for an aerospace and defense company and Taylor is a program analyst in the anti-money laundering field. They currently reside in Annapolis.
