Christy & Roger’s Wedding

I’m still on cloud nine over Christy & Roger’s Naval Academy Wedding this weekend in Annapolis, Maryland! With a ceremony at the USNA Chapel, portraits in the Superintendent’s Garden + Bancroft Hall, and finishing with a reception at the prestigious Officer’s Club – Everything about this Navy Wedding made my heart sing! And their proposal story… that’s equally as inspiring –

A month before her birthday, Roger had Christy save a night the day before her birthday so they could go out and celebrate. She was immediately feeling suspicious that a proposal might be coming, since it was unlike Roger to plan any date weeks in advance. Since her dream proposal was of Roger getting down on one knee in his uniform, she thought it would just be any other night when he picked her up wearing regular clothes. This was fine…they would just have a great, normal dinner!

The night started with cocktail’s at Marcel’s before heading to Martin’s Tavern. Shortly after arrival, Roger excuses himself to use the bathroom (which, as Christy will tell you, is not too uncommon). While he’s gone, the waiter entertains Christy by telling her the specials (one of which was specially made that day for her, duck confit), and then giving her the history of the restaurant and even the history of their booth. The booth they were seated at was the exact booth where JFK proposed to Jackie O. The waiter excuses himself and comes back with a bouquet of red roses, explains to Christy that today is the 60th anniversary of the famous proposal, and that each year on the anniversary they bring flowers to the table… and then out comes Roger in uniform. Christy knew right away – this is really happening!

Congratulations Christy and Roger! Wishing you both a lifetime of joy + happiness!

And the sweetest Father-Daughter First Look…
