Erin and Patrick met at the gym about 5 years ago. “Patrick noticed me leaving spin class and asked the instructor about me.”
Patrick proposed in early summer in Gettysburg. “We were walking the Civil War trails. It was more crowded than he expected so he waited till we got to the top of Little Round Top to propose.”
60 guests, including a two-person wedding party, helped the couple celebrate their October wedding day at Mountain Memories at ThorpeWood. “We chose the pine tree cathedral for our ceremony. We love the outdoors and that spot was perfect. A bagpiper played for the ceremony and it was an eerily beautiful sound and completely set the mood. The aisle was decorated with huge ferns that I had been growing since the summer. The alter was made of raw wood and covered with tons of greenery.”
Focused on incorporating the beauty of their venue, the couple went for a woodland and Celtic vibe for their wedding decor. “Our colors were dark greens and burgundy. We used a lot of greenery like ferns and eucalyptus. Our 2-year old son Francis stole the show in his toddler kilt. The DJ played Irish pub-style music during cocktail hour. Our menu included Guinness beef stew and an Irish themed cheese tray.”
Erin is a nurse and Patrick is a truce designer. They reside in Westminster, Maryland.
