NoLo Weddings & Events: Original Wedding: Erica & Nick

I've known Erica since high school. If I remember correctly, it was the first day of sophomore year that we really became friends, after getting lost together in the confusing science hallway trying to make our way to class. Fast forward a few weeks and we found ourselves as lab partners... lab partners who couldn't even boil water without turning it blue and making a scene. To this day I can STILL picture our teacher sternly telling us to "back away" as he disposed of the water!

Throughout getting to know Erica, I also got to know Nick and their relationship. Erica and I rode the same bus, my high school boyfriend and I went on numerous double dates with the two of them and we would all get together on occasion to go bowling or attend football games. From the first time seeing them together, their chemistry was evident. While most high school relationships were on and off, theirs was consistently strong. Erica & Nick were that couple-- The couple everyone knew would get married one day. So of course when the day came that Nick proposed and Erica asked for some wedding planning help, I was THRILLED for NoLo to be a part of their big day!

April 13th couldn't have been better-- It was a gorgeous, partly sunny, 68 degree day in Gaithersburg, MD and Erica and Nick both looked stunning. The emotions were the same all around, everyone overjoyed to see such an amazing couple tying the knot. From silly pictures at the photo booth and the groomsmen sporting horse-head accessories to a BBQ menu and one of the sweetest first dances I've ever seen (maybe I'm a little biased), everything was perfectly Erica & Nick. It was such a joy to not only see everything come together, but to see the love that the two of them share.

Erica & Nick-- Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for including me in your wedding day. Not only as a friend, but for trusting me as a wedding professional. The two of you are rock stars and I know you'll have one of the happiest marriages that a couple could ask for!
