How They Met:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Michael and I met at a work happy hour in Arlington, VA.”<\/p>\n

\"Classic<\/p>\n

The Proposal:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We have a memory jar that we write memories on post its and add them to the jar throughout each year and at the end of the year around NYE we open the jar to relive our memories together (it could be a special note from one of us, an accomplishment with work, a note marking a special occasion, etc). Michael had suggested we open the memory early before Christmas in 2015 because we had a lot going on the following few weeks and I agreed. \u00a0He planned a date night, December 23, 2015, to National Harbor. \u00a0We went to dinner and then walked the pier after dinner to open our memory jar. \u00a0As we got to the bottom of the memory jar- the last three notes said 1. I asked your dad 2. Your mom knows too 3. Will you marry me?! Of course, I cried and said YES!”<\/p>\n

“Wedding planning was a lot of fun for me. \u00a0I used WeddingWire and recommendations from my friends to find all of my vendors which made it super easy. I am very organized so I booked my venue, photographer, DJ, and flowers right away. \u00a0Although planning was time-consuming because I focused on every detail, it was all worth it in the end. \u00a0The wedding day was seamless with all of my vendors! \u00a0\u00a0I remember the day after my wedding I asked my mom- “Okay, what went wrong the ‘day of’ that people didn’t tell the bride about.” And she said ‘absolutely nothing, it was perfect!”<\/p>\n

\"Classic<\/p>\n

\"Classic<\/p>\n

About the Venue:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I chose the Crystal Tea Room by Finley Catering. \u00a0I absolutely loved my venue. From the minute Michael and I walked into the ballroom with the big chandelier sparkling on the grandiose historic pillars I knew right away I would have my wedding at the Crystal Tea Room.”<\/p>\n

Wedding Inspiration:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I wanted a classic, romantic, winter wedding. \u00a0Pictures from Pinterest helped me build my vision for my wedding day.”<\/p>\n

\"Classic<\/p>\n

\"Classic<\/p>\n

\"Classic<\/p>\n

Wedding Planning Advice:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Stay organized with your schedule and all of your details. \u00a0Stay calm and make sure your bridal party has all the contact information for your vendors in case of an emergency on the day of and everything will run smoothly! \u00a0Most importantly – Enjoy this time in your lives with each other, it goes by so fast so cherish it.”<\/p>\n

“My best moment was standing on the dance floor in a big circle will all of my family friends knowing that I had the man of my dreams next to me and could feel all the love in the room. All of my vendors were amazing! From Finley Catering to Magdalena Kernan to Steve and Co. DJ to FabuFloras to C.E. Facial Artistry. They were all organized, kept me in the loop prior to the day of and had me completely comfortable and calm on the wedding day. \u00a0They were an awesome team to have by my side.”<\/p>\n
