Danielle and Mike met ten years ago and were high school sweethearts. “I was a sophomore and Mike was a senior when we met and we’ve been together ever since.”
Mike’s proposal began when he surprised Danielle with a date to the Rusty Scupper in the Inner Harbor. “I had no idea what was coming. He reserved us the most beautiful table overlooking the water and then when dessert came, he fumbled in his coat pocket and he got down on one knee and asked me to spend the rest of my life with him. Our server knew and took pictures as he got down on his knee. And then the whole restaurant started clapping for us. It was perfect.”
One-hundred and fifty guests, including a fourteen-person wedding party helped the couple celebrate their October 2019 nuptials at Linganore Winecellars. “It was an outside ceremony overlooking the vineyards. It was right before sunset in the most picture-perfect setting. The weather was perfect.”
Danielle and Mike chose a rustic barn theme to compliment the venue. “The color palette was burgundy with sunflowers and the groomsmen wore navy blue. “The day was filled with so much happiness and dancing. It was a big reunion of family and lifelong friends. We literally danced the entire night away with all of our closest friends and family. We had all of our guests waive glow sticks as we left the reception.”
Danielle is a contract administrator for a small government contractor and Mike is a low-voltage technician for Vintage Security. They currently reside in Eldersburg.
