Our story began in June of 2017 (Vanessa was living in Alexandria, Virginia and Marc was living in Baltimore, Maryland). We had our first date at CIRCA restaurant in Arlington, Virginia. Hours later... After a few glasses of wine, and A LOT of talking, we said our goodbyes and went our separate ways, not knowing if we scared each other off. Little did we know that we would be spending the next year traveling 60 miles up and down 295 every weekend. A little more than a year later, on August 4, 2018, Marc got down on one knee and proposed at sunset at The Bygone in Baltimore overlooking the Baltimore skyline. Marc planned the special evening that included some of our closest friends and family to celebrate with us after the surprising proposal. Our relationship has blossomed over the past 2 years and we continue to grow closer as we spend more and more time together. We enjoy spending time with our family and friends, traveling to new and familiar places, cheering on the O's, Ravens, Caps, and Terps, exploring local breweries and vineyards, and relaxing in our home in Lutherville, Maryland. We are so lucky to have found each other. We both value our companionship and dedication to putting each other first, and loving each other despite our differences. You're my Lobster! We're very blessed to have you in our lives! We are so excited to celebrate one of the most important days of our lives with You and we can't wait to say "I do"! Love, Vanessa & Marc
