James and I met Alyssa at the Timonium Fairgrounds Wedding Expo this year in Towson, MD. She was surrounded by a large group of family and friends who were there to support her in finding her wedding dream team. We were so glad to be selected to help make their day the best day ever! Read on for more about Alyssa and Matthew’s wedding at Eastern Yacht Club in Essex, MD!

How did you meet?

We met at a car meet at a Taco Bell. He offered me a chair to sit in, and in exchange got my phone number so that I could return it back to him. Low and behold, we texted all night long. And never stopped!

Who popped the question and how?

He popped the question at our housewarming party in front of all of our closest family and friends.

Where did you say YES to the dress, and what designer did you wear?

Where were the bridesmaids’ dresses purchased from?

Azazie

When it came to your venue selection, why did you choose to get married there?

Price was a large factor! But the venue itself was beautiful, on the water, and close to home!

What made you choose our company?

We met at the wedding expo in Timonium. I was reluctant to hire planning help, as we hadn’t budgeted for it and I felt like I could do it myself. We got along instantly, and with some persuasion- I went for it! And boy, I’m glad I did. I have NO CLUE how I would have done it without you both!
