Downtown Frederick Wedding :: Real Frederick Wedding :: Sarah and Owen

Sarah and Owen met through a mutual friend in Ocean City. “We didn’t start speaking until the following spring. We were both sophomores in college and started dating that summer. Flash forward four years later, in 2017, and we bought our home in Frederick.”

In February 2018 Sarah that an engagement ring was being made but didn’t know how Owen would propose. “Long story short, it was hidden in the freezer at my parent’s house and when they asked me to put an ice cream cake away. I didn’t exactly see the ring or Owen on one knee.”

95 guests were in attendance for their June Downtown Frederick wedding, which took place on Carroll Creek, including six bridesmaids and three groomsmen. “It was personal, filled with laughter and tears. On the creek, we had people watching and clapping. Our fathers were the ‘ring bearers’ and we put a copy of our personal vows in a ceremonial box to save.”

The couple took their decor inspiration from Sarah’s art deco style engagement ring then added pops of purple, navy, and gray. “Our favorite aspect of our wedding was supporting as many Frederick vendors as possible and having the ceremony on the creek was a no-brainer decision.”

Sarah is an account admin at L1 Enterprises Inc. in Frederick and Owen is a software engineer at PROCAS, LLC in Columbia. They currently reside in Frederick.

August Union Bridge Farm Wedding :: Real Frederick Wedding :: Bradley + Cathleen

Bradley and Cathleen met in July of 2010 through a mutual friend. “We started dating three months later. We have been together for eight years this past September.”

“Bradley called me and asked if I wanted lunch from Chik-Fil-a since I was harvesting crops all day. So he stopped by the field on his way home to bring me food. He rode around with me while I finished up the farm I was at and helped me move the combine to another farm to keep harvesting. By this time it was starting to get dark and I was running low on fuel. He insisted I stop combining for the evening so he could fill my fuel tank up. While we were waiting on the tank to fill up he got down on one knee and asked me if I would marry him.”

250 guests were in attendance for their outdoor August nuptials including five bridesmaids and four groomsmen. “ We got married in the middle of the field next to our house across from my parent’s farm overlooking the farm and other fields. The scenery was perfect. The arbor was borrowed from my sister’s wedding that they had made. My talented mother in law also made entryway doors for the entrance of the ceremony. The sunset was beautiful and a hot air balloon appeared just in time for our pictures after the ceremony.”

Bradley works for his parents at Wastler & Son, Inc. as a foreman. Cathleen works for her parents on their dairy farm. They currently reside in Union Bridge.

Outdoor May Stone Manor Wedding :: Real Frederick Wedding :: Morgan and Brad

“Brad and I met by him doing work in my parent’s house. My mom decided to give Brad’s work a call to let his dad know how great of a job they did in her house and threw in there that, ‘My daughter thinks your son is cute,’ so it’s safe to say thanks, Mom! Brad and I have been together 6 years.”

Brad proposed on Carroll Creek. “He told me we were going to take family photos since his brother was moving to Tennessee in a few weeks. Somehow he managed to get both of our families together and once I saw all of them standing on the bridge I just knew it was coming.”

160 attended their outdoor May nuptials at Stone Manor Country Club, including five bridesmaids and five groomsmen. “There were a lot of tears and a lot of laughter.”

The couple chose a rustic theme for their decor, which included a color palette of navy blue, yellow and white. The couple also had a cookie table, a Pittsburgh tradition. “The majority of my family is from Pittsburgh. When you go to a wedding in Pittsburgh they don’t ask how the wedding was they ask how the cookie table was!”

Morgan is an orthodontic dental assistant and Brad is a glazier. They currently reside in Myersville.

June Linganore Winecellars Wedding :: Real Frederick Wedding :: Heather + Clint

Heather and Clint met at a game night through a mutual friend. “It started with him offering me one of his craft beers and ended with him giving me a foot rub. We have been together for 4 and a half years.”

Clint proposed on an anniversary trip to Vermont. “On the second morning of our trip, Clint proposed to me with breakfast in bed. He knew I did not want a public proposal, so this was perfect.”

107 guests were in attendance for their June nuptials, including six bridesmaids and six groomsmen. “We wanted a short, sweet, and to the point ceremony. We worked with our officiant to make sure everything we wanted to be said would be said and it turned out exactly how we wanted. The weather forecast was threatening thunderstorms in the afternoon so we moved the ceremony to under the pavilion, just to be on the safe side. Fortunately, it did not rain, so even though the ceremony was under the pavilion, we were able to take pictures outside overlooking the vineyards and in between the vines. The overcast was perfect for our pictures and we even got a beautiful sunset.”

The couple chose a color palette of light pinks with white and burgundy accents for their wedding decor. “Our day was unique because we incorporated music from our favorite films throughout the day – the girls and I walked down the aisle to Lord of the Rings music, our recessional was Throne Room from Star Wars – and we were announced during the reception by walking under Light Sabers given to the wedding party.”

Clint is a chemistry and physics high school teacher. Heather is a full-time pharmacy school student at the University of Maryland, Baltimore. They currently reside in Frederick.

Spring Stone Manor Wedding :: Real Frederick Wedding :: Kathryn + Andrew

Kathryn and Andrew met Downtown Frederick at Wags in November of 2014. “We both went to the same high school and college but neither of us knew each other then. We knew a lot of the same people and hit it off immediately,” shared Kathryn. Andrew invited Kat to his family tailgate the next day and, “We’ve been pretty much inseparable ever since.”

Kathryn and Andrew had 200 guests in attendance, including five bridesmaids and five groomsmen at their outdoor ceremony in April at Stone Manor Country Club. Andrew’s Uncle was their officiant. “We worked with him to put together a simple but meaningful ceremony. We wrote our vows together and both said the same words as our promise to each other.”

The couple chose a wedding palette of neutral colors for their decor. “We tried to pull in different elements from each our cultures. We had a special sign on the bar that said ‘cheers’ in multiple languages of our origin. We did two pretty epic Greek Dances. A local Bluegrass Band, Israel Creek, played for our Ceremony and Cocktail hour. They were awesome and really kicked off the energy and atmosphere from when guests arrived.”

In lieu of favors, the couple elected to make a donation to the Jessica Lee Murphy Scholarship Fund.

Kathryn is a Project Manager and Andrew is a contractor. They currently reside in Frederick.

April Springfield Manor Barn Wedding :: Real Frederick Wedding :: Jessica and Jeff

Jeff and Jessica met at a wedding in Thurmont. “I was invited as a plus one and was not even the first one to be asked. My friend had asked her husband and her sister to attend, which they declined so she asked me. It was there that I met Jeff.”

The couple and their families went on a vacation in 2016. “During ‘Captain’s Night’ when everyone is dressed in formal attire, Jeff asked if we could get a photo of just us on this glass bridge. The photographer shot a few frames and then Jeff turned towards me and proposed.”

76 guests were in attendance for their indoor April ceremony at Springfield Manor, including a six-person bridal party. Jessica’s stepfather served as the officiant and her son performed a reading. Jeff’s sister also did a reading during their ceremony in the barn. “It was intimate and so special. The funniest thing that happened, which I missed because I had not come inside yet, was when the flower girl and ring bearer missed walking down the isles and had to be re-diverted.”

The couple chose a color palette of charcoal and plum for their wedding decor, much of which they did themselves. “Every part of our day was DIY – including all the flowers and decorations. You can really save a lot of money doing it this way, but it requires even more planning and organization.”

Jeff is a Total Service Manager and Jessica is a Billing Analyst. They currently reside in Ijamsville.

Amanda + Tony's Lavender-Filled Day | Real Frederick Wedding

SchoemerCane_0001

JacqieQ Photography shared this lovely summer wedding with us recently. Here’s what she told us about the day:

Tony and Amanda were wed mountainside at the beautiful Springfield Manor Winery & Distillery in Thurmont. The guys wore Converse sneakers with their tuxes and the bridesmaids wore pewter dresses. The electricity went out during the reception, but the guests barely noticed as Shew-sical Entertainment Services came prepared and the venue opened the doors to the patio, bringing the lovely mountain air indoors.
