Maryland Wedding Expo and Bridal Show

This Sunday, Kate and I attended the Maryland Wedding Expo and Bridal Show at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront. With dozens of vendors and other displays, this was the perfect opportunity to get a better handle on some of the finer details of our wedding. These aspects include floral arrangements, music, photography, and videography. 

I don’t know what I was expecting, but we got a lot more than we were bargaining for. The event packs in vendors at every corner and it really is a perfect opportunity to find information and gather price points.
 
For those interested, this is a great opportunity. Tickets do cost some money – $15.00 for one day and $20.00 for two, but it is worth it. It will save you a lot of time searching on the internet for different venders. What’s more, you get to see a wedding runway show at the end, so there’s that.

How we met – His Side

I remember her skipping into my life on a late summer afternoon at the very start of my sophomore year of college. I thought she was this shimmering beacon, this beautiful person full of energy dancing around the field and I can’t tell you the butterflies I felt when she came over. 

A little context: I had just finished rock climbing with Patrick Streifel when we stepped out into the sun to see the Historic Swordsmanship Club practicing. Being sufficiently nerdy and a fencer with a year of experience, I pounced on the opportunity. Little did I know how big of a turn in my life was about to take. 

As I said before, Kate was radiant on that field. As a star and a beacon, she has never dimmed. On that day, I remember seeing her out of the corner of my eye. The way she brought joy and warmth everywhere she went filled me with curiosity I couldn’t get out of my system. I just wanted to get to know her, to bask in the warm glow she exuded. 

I was also really shy. Something about Kate gave me crazy butterflies. Eventually she did come over and to my amazement, I found myself talking like crazy. Now I can be a shy person and I was definitely nervous around Kate, but the words still flowed. We had so much to talk about right from the start and a little part of me just needed to know more. To experience more. 

After three and a half years, that little seed has grown into a beautiful relationship that is the anchor in my life. Kate has brought the same joy and light everywhere and I couldn’t be more thankful God brought her into my life.
