Melanie and Nicholas met while attending the University of Maryland at College Park through a mutual friend, but found out later they knew many of the same people. “We found out through stories from growing up that we had been at the same events and probably met a long time ago like sitting a table away from each other at prom. We have many stories where we crossed paths, but never actually knew it until recently.”
In the fall of 2017, the couple headed to the Monocacy Aqueduct to take fall photos with their best friends. “After about 10 minutes into taking photos, Nick got down on one knee and proposed.”
150 guests including four bridesmaids and four groomsmen attended their outdoor nuptials. “The weather was perfect and surprisingly nice out for an outdoor ceremony in mid-November. Our wedding officiant was a family member, who was hilarious and perfect for the task.”
The couple chose navy, green, and gold for their wedding decor. “Our whole wedding day was about relaxing and enjoying yourself. The cake cutting including both of us getting cake shoved lovingly into each other’s face and the whole night involved dancing and loving those around us.”
Melanie is a technical trainer for Charles River Laboratories. Nick is a career firefighter for Montgomery County. The couple currently lives in Frederick.
