Davidson Wedding at Herrington on the Bay

HOW THEY MET:

We met on the dating app Hinge! Marissa was a travel nurse who took an

assignment in Baltimore, and it turned out she was moving just a few blocks

from Brandon. We started dating and she decided to stay permanently!

THE PROPOSAL:

We both share a mutual love for cooking and food, and Julie and Julia is one of our favorite movies. Around the time Brandon was going to propose, Julia Child’s former home in Georgetown “The Jewel on Olive” was for sale. Brandon was able to get in contact with the owner Rory to organize a tour just for fun, but little did Marissa know, he was planning on proposing in the kitchen of where Julia Child tested recipes for Mastering the Art of French Cooking.

THE BEST PART:

The best part of our wedding day was our moment alone after the ceremony. Our amazing wedding planner Christine McFarlane organized a private picnic at the end of the dock at Herrington on the Bay for us to exchange gifts, enjoy our cocktail hour appetizers, and take in the moment together before we partied with our friends and family.

THE HARDEST PART:

The hardest part was leading up to the wedding and the uncertainty of the weather! Rain was in the forecast, and it ended up being way hotter than anticipated. We really appreciated Christine being prepared with parasols for the guests to avoid the sun, and thankfully, it didn’t start to rain until everyone had left!
