Sarah and Joey met in 2015, during their freshman year at McDaniel College. “We took Spanish 101, and our final exam that semester was to tango with a partner. We got partnered up, and the rest is history.”
75 guests, including a 12-person wedding party, celebrated their outdoor May wedding at Strong Mansion. “We chose this location because it allowed guests to see the true beauty of the mountain and surrounding areas. We wrote our own vows, and it is a memory we both will cherish for the rest of our lives.”
The wedding color palette focused on navy blue tones with cream accents. “We wanted the perfect twist of formal and cocktail. The string quartet added the formal ambiance we were after, while small details made the day more laid-back. I think the most special thing on our day was having our dog, Ollie, there. Ollie had a floral collar and walked down the aisle for the wedding. She stayed for cocktail hour, too, where she was the official greeter for all of our guests.”
“My wedding band is modeled off of my grandmother’s wedding ring. The gold base of my ring is repurposed family gold from generations prior. Joey’s band is made of repurposed family gold from his family, too. Our wedding took place in May because both sets of parents were married in May, and we wanted to share this month with our greatest role models.”
Sarah works for Frederick Health, and Joey is the owner of Creek Vintage, where he re-sells vintage memorabilia and clothing. They currently reside in Frederick.
