Amanda and Patrick met at Turf Valley, where they both work part-time. “We definitely did not have any chemistry right away. After three years of working together and consistently going out with our co-workers, we eventually started to become really good friends.”
Patrick tried to propose at Disney, but his plan fell through. “When we finally got back to the hotel, I told him to get in the shower first while I was trying to get the TV to turn on. He kept saying Amanda turn around when I yelled back that the remote was not working. After about the third time, I eventually turned around and he was on one knee.”
125 guests were in attendance for their June nuptials, including a maid of honor and best man. “Our officiant was a good friend of ours. We incorporated readings read by Patrick’s sister and we wrote our own vows.”
The couple chose a couple a color palette of ivory, blush, green, and gray. “We wanted our wedding day to look soft but elegant with a rustic flair. My favorite part of wedding planning was actually creating all of our decorations. Most of our decorations were hand made.”
Amanda is an administrative assistant at Colonial Pipeline. Patrick is a project coordinator at Bon Secours Health System. They reside in Marriottsville.
