Paige and Eric met at a wedding in 2017. “We met at my brother’s wedding, where I stood as my brother’s ‘best man’ and Eric was a groomsman. Little did we know it was the start of our very own forever love story, and we’ve been together ever since.”
Eric proposed at their home in July of 2020. “It was so special to have such a positive life change in what, for many, had been such a difficult year. Eric presented the ring on a king crab leg. It was the surprise of a lifetime. It sounds quiet, but for us, it was perfect.”
125 guests, including a six-person wedding party, helped the couple celebrate their outdoor April nuptials. “Our ceremony was in the woods, under a beautiful wooden arbor, draped in the most stunning florals you can imagine, surrounded by our closest family and friends. We were married by our dear friend, Jason, who was able to make it so beautifully personalized. It was the most special thing we could’ve asked for. The details of our love story that he was able to incorporate into the ceremony are something we are so thankful for.”
The couple chose a rustic and modern theme for their decor. “The feel was formal but so warm. The colors were slate blue, with tons of greenery and ivory as well as pops of copper. Our florist, April, incorporated a fly fishing tackle belonging to his late brother. It was so beyond special to have that close to Eric’s heart on our big day. We had a hanging ladder above our head table with the most beautiful flower arrangements. It set such a tone. Our seating chart was a champagne welcome wall. Guests grabbed their glass off a greenery wall that coordinated with their table number and then brought them inside for a welcome toast. We were surrounded by candles, lanterns, draping, chandeliers, flowers, and greenery. It was a dream.”
Paige works at Colonial Jewelers in Downtown Frederick, and Eric is a middle school teacher in Clarksburg. They currently reside in Frederick.
