Elisabeth and Aaron met in 2014 and started a long-distance relationship after meeting through mutual friends and playing video games online together. “After a year of long-distance, we wanted to be closer together, and have been living together ever since.”
“Aaron proposed on what seemed a regular Tuesday afternoon. I was on a call with a friend, one of my would-be bridesmaids, in my pajamas. He came home from work early, texted my friend to have me turn around, and he was on his knee with the ring when I looked. I never saw it coming, especially not on such a menial evening, and I think that’s what made it perfect for us.”
43 guests including a two-person wedding party helped the couple celebrate their January nuptials. “I’ve dreamed of Ceresville since I was a little girl. I grew up in the Frederick Area, and Ceresville was always that quintessential picturesque place. Our colors were navy, dusty blue, and pink. We wanted a frosty, winter feel.”
Elisabeth’s bouquet had her great-grandmother’s engagement necklace attached. “We also made sure to include a memorial table, as I lost an aunt and grandfather during the wedding planning, and my grandmother passed four days before the wedding. Aaron and I aren’t dancers, but we choreographed our first dance ourselves. Everyone loved it and still talks about it months later.”
Elisabeth is a chemist in Baltimore, and Aaron is a store manager. They currently reside in Parkville, Maryland.
