In 2015 Samantha and Collin went on a trip to a mutual friend’s cabin in the mountains. “We had our first kiss there, then started officially dating a few weeks later.”
Collin proposed to Samantha in February 2017 during a walk in Downtown Frederick. “We stopped on the way to dinner to buy some Girl Scout cookies. Collin made sure to put the cookies down before he proposed.”
120 guests were in attendance for their January wedding, including five bridesmaids and five groomsmen. The ceremony was held at Samantha’s family church, St. Mary’s Church and Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima in Barnesville, MD. “It meant a lot to have our families there to share and take part in the ceremony.”
The couple chose a color palette of steel blue, blush pink, and navy for their wedding decor. When asked why they chose their reception venue, Samantha shared, “We loved Holly Hills because it was a full-service venue. We knew that they would be there to help our vision come to life.”Samantha is a teacher and Collin is a graphic designer. They currently reside in New Market.
