Jason and Morgan grew up in the same neighborhood. “Whether it was swimming, sledding, or touch football, all the neighborhood kids would meet and play for hours on end. At that time we had no way of knowing our future spouse was standing right there, but when we reconnected in the summer of 2016 there was a spark and we had a lot of catching up to do.”
The couple got engaged on Labor Day weekend in 2019 at Black Ankle Vineyards. “I walked into the vines because Jason pointed out some delicious-looking grapes and then came out with fresh rock on my finger. I thought the excitement was over but when we got to the tasting room I was met by over twenty of our closest friends and family members.”
150 guests, including a twelve-person wedding party, helped the couple celebrate their wedding day in June. “We were nervous wrecks as the forecast predicted storms all evening. As fate would have it, we had nothing but blue skies and sunshine outside of a brief shower, which actually produced a double rainbow. Jason’s Aunt was our officiant and told our story to those in attendance. We exchanged our own vows and there were very few dry eyes in the crowd. Jason swept me off my feet and carried me out in front of everyone.”
Morgan and Jason chose a rustic wedding theme, using lots of greenery and vines for their semi-formal wedding at Black Ankle Vineyards. “Our family lives next to the vineyard so it has always been a special place for us. Unmatched scenery, rolling hills, and incredible wine. What else do you need?”
Jason is an Intelligence Analyst and Morgan is a high school health and physical education teacher. They currently reside in Sykesville, Maryland.
