Australian and American Musket Ridge Wedding :: Real Frederick Wedding :: Kaitlyn and Cameron

Kaitlyn and Cameron met while completing degrees at Ball State University in Indiana. “We both moved away from our homes, Cameron from Australia and me from Maryland. We were both involved in the athletics program at Ball State, which is where we met and developed an unbelievable friendship. As time went on this friendship grew stronger and stronger, and in the Fall of 2016, we started dating.”

When Cameron’s mother came to visit from Australia, he orchestrated a very special dinner with Kaitlyn’s parents joining.” We ordered dessert and it came out with a special phrase attached it.”

140 guests were in attendance for their outdoor June nuptials at Musket Ridge, including four bridesmaids and four groomsmen. “My favorite part about the wedding was that we had tons of friends and family from all walks of life, both from near and far. All of our guests created an unforgettable atmosphere, which helped create many lasting memories.”

The couple set up a candy station for guests to take home as a thank you for celebrating. “The candy represented some of our favorite candy from both the United States and Australia.”

Cameron is a collegiate strength and conditioning coach and Kaitlyn is a USA Gymnastics Club Coach. They currently reside in Lexington, Kentucky.

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.

Romantic Fall Walkers Overlook Wedding :: Real Frederick Wedding :: Jacob + Gabrielle

Jake proposed to Gabrielle during a fall family photo session, with her five-year-old son Jackson at her side. “It was one of the best moments of my life.”

The two met on Facebook, having several mutual friends. “Jake kept liking a lot of my photos so I decided to send him a message to chat. The conversation was nice and he finally admitted he was going to message me that day, too. He asked me out for dinner and our first date was at Brewer’s Alley.”

125 guests were in attendance for their outdoor ceremony, including five bridesmaids and five groomsmen. Gabrielle’s son Jackson served as the ringbearer. Jacob’s grandfather handcrafted a nine-foot cross for the ceremony, which was wrapped in flowers and vines. “After Pastor Ron announced we were married, we walked away to Bruno Mars’, “Marry Me.”

The couple chose to go with a “romantic” theme for their color palette; marsala, burgundy, blush pink, creams, whites, and golds could be seen throughout their decor and florals.

When asked what her favorite part of the wedding was, Gabrielle couldn’t decide. “Everything turned out even more perfect than I could have ever imagined. I got to marry my best friend with my son by my side who got to be a part of it. Our families and close friends were there to celebrate with us as well.”

Gabrielle is a Research Remediation Analyst at Wells Fargo Home Mortgage. Jacob works at Service Glass Industries as an installation Foreman. They currently reside in Frederick.

International Stone Manor Wedding :: Real Frederick Wedding :: Caitlin + Nathan

Planning the perfect Frederick wedding when the groom-to-be is 10,000 miles away in Australia wasn’t easy, but Caitlin and Nathan pulled off their July wedding despite the distance.

“This wedding was a huge deal for everyone. Nathan and I have been long distance for the majority of our relationship, so most of my friends didn’t meet him until our wedding. Everyone was so excited to finally meet him and see us together. It was so special taking this next step in our lives with the love and support of our friends and family.”

Nathan and Caitlin met through mutual friends at a rugby party in Towson. “We actually hated each other when we first met!” Caitlin said. But after continued talks, the two ended up having a lot in common and began dating. “We dated for about four months when Nathan and his family returned to their home in Australia. We decided to try out long distance and we never looked back.” The couple has been together for four years.

“We didn’t see each other before the ceremony, but we touched hands and my photographers captured the moment,” shared Caitlin. “It made me even more excited to see him. I also loved the first look with my dad. It was such a special moment and I’m glad I was able to share that with him.”

The couple had six bridesmaids and six groomsmen in their bridal party for their outdoor wedding ceremony at Stone Manor. 138 guests were in attendance for their sunny day. In order to feel closer to her late grandparents, Caitlin walked down the aisle with a handkerchief that belonged to her late grandmother, pins her late grandfather always wore, and her late grandmother’s pearl necklace.

The couple placed an Australian and an American flag on each table at their reception, as well as share some Australian gifts for wedding favors.

Nathan is a chef and Caitlin is a crime analyst. Caitlin currently lives in Frederick, while Nathan is still in Australia as he waits for his American visa.
