She walked down the aisle with her arm wrapped around her daddy’s. The sun was out and everyone sat on this big beautiful hill overlooking the rolling vineyards of Linganore Winery in Mt. Airy, Maryland. As LisaMarie approached Patrick you could see the excitement on both of their faces. The ceremony began as any traditional wedding ceremony begins. Then slowly everyone began to feel little tiny droplets of water hitting their faces and you could hear the whispers amongst the guests, “It’s raining”. Sure enough, even though the guests were surrounded by acres of land, they were on the only very small plot that a small rain cloud rolled in over. Slowly but yet ever so quickly the rain picked up. Thank goodness the heavens never really opened up which would’ve resulted in everyone becoming soaked.
The officiant went through the ceremony as quickly as possible. Yet, you could tell LisaMarie and Patrick weren’t rushed. Neither of them were discouraged and nothing could break their attention on each other. They were getting married and that was all that mattered to them.
Their Linganore Winery Wedding was nothing short of stunning. Every detail was planned out perfectly -- The wine barrels at the ceremony site adorned with greens and bright beautiful white flowers, the table centerpieces and escort cards, and all of DIY by the bride. Every last detail was perfection and wonderfully displayed their summer winery theme in the most sophisticated way possible.
LisaMarie's work friends surprised the couple with a flash mob right after dinner was served! It started with just a few from LisaMarie's job and slowly more and more guests joined in.
Colby, the best man, stood up and spoke of his and Patrick’s conversation the night before. They sat in their hotel room sipping on a glass of whiskey talking. A conversation that turned toward love. Toward commitment. Toward LisaMarie. “Love is not a word. It is not a noun or a feeling. Love is a verb. An action, something you live out everyday. Everyday you show your partner that you love them. Every action expresses that love and shares that love with them.” Colby’s words caught the attention of the room. The speech was heart felt. But it wouldn’t be complete without some advice, “So I leave you both with this piece of advice... LisaMarieYou can tell him what to do and how to do it but never at the same time....” And with that the party began.
