Before I tell you about Beth & Gary’s wedding, I have to first tell you about the circumstances leading up to it. All of you who live in MD know that the evening before Saturday, June 30th, we had a “Derecho” blow through, downing trees and knocking out power all over the area http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/29/virginia-dc-derecho-storm_n_1639274.html . Some of us were without power for 4 days! By some of us…I mean me. So it was the night before the wedding and I had all my gear plugged in charging for the big day. Make a long story short… I woke up to no power and a full bag of dead equipment! Since we still had a few hours before show time, I started calling everyone I knew. Nope no power… I was getting a little panicked. So, I got in the car and stared driving north. I found a Panera Bread after about a half an hour of no luck. The place was packed, but I managed to snag one of the only two open outlets in the whole place. I spent the next 3 hours pretending to drink my drink and eat my bag of chips, which i finished 5 minutes after I got them. Anyhow, thanks Panera for saving the day! I successfully made it their wedding with no problem! So on to Beth & Gary. I think it’s hilarious that the very last couple we blogged about, the bride loved the Ravens and the groom loved the Steelers. Well reverse that, and you have Beth & Gary. ha! They are actually all-around sports fans . So….when we arrived at the Hillendale Country Club the power was on (hooray!) and everyone was ready to go. Beth was a surprisingly calm and collected bride, given the craziness of the power outage situation. The grounds of the Country Club were beautiful of course; the bright green lawn made for a nice contrasting background. Everything went beautifully, from the sentimental moment of Beth’s Dad seeing her as a bride to the vows to the party afterwards!! We even got to see our good friends, Lauren & Alex Bernstien (Gary is Alex’s cousin) once again!
We thoroughly enjoyed your wedding Beth & Gary and we all wish you a lifetime of happiness together! Congrats again.
-Justin, Danielle, & Ian
