There is a limited amount of space at our wedding; please do not bring a plus one. Most of the festivities will be outside or in an open-aired barn to limit spread potential. Please be mindful of your activities the week before to help keep everyone safe.
In a digital world, our beginning started online. Our first date included flavors of the South, pulled pork sandwiches, and a walk through living history, Georgetown. Our first adventure was to the mountain mamas of West Virginia to dance in the rain and celebrate the love of Riley and Mike, now one of AJs groomsmen. Spending our first six out of eight months apart, I (Emmaly) decided to hop on the firefighting bandwagon and split my time between Alaska and Washington, DC. Three years later we have a condo in Virginia for the winter season, where I attend graduate school at American University, and we live in Fairbanks, Alaska for the summer season working for the Department of Interior.
It happened on the water front of downtown Savannah, Georgia. The air was brisk due to an unusual winter storm, but the sky was clear. We stopped at a fountain light show and watched as the water streams danced like ballarinas on stage. The music came to a conclusion and AJ took my hand. He slid off my pink glove, got down on one knee and asked if I’d marry him. Filled with shock and excitement I said yes. He slid the ring on my finger and we walked into the rest of our lives.
Woodlawn is Maryland's first estate, deeded in 1634 to Leonard Calvert, Maryland's first governor, as part of Trinity Manor. The current Manor House was completed by American Revolution Colonel Matthias Clarke as a patriotic tribute to the fledgling Republic he fought to establish. His boat of the same name was harbored at the front door, less than 100 feet to the shoreline alongside Calvert Creek. Today's boxwoods are a nod to the past as the perennial gardens look to the future at what is today's front door at the end of the mile long driveway which most travelers now use to visit.
