Nelly is someone who is super outgoing, down to earth and stylish (a NYC fashion designer nonetheless!). I was for sure certain she was going to marry a man who was equally charming! Nelly and Calvin’s courtship was a whirlwind long distance romance. They invited my family out to dinner one evening when Nelly was in town. I keenly observed Calvin when I noticed was that he paid attention to my children and even waived down the waitress when my son dropped his chopsticks in the restaurant. Later, I told Nelly that I thought he was going to be an attentive husband. Secretly, I was hoping he would propose to her quickly and I think God heard my prayers. After a year of dating, one day I finally got a call from Nelly telling me that she was engaged! I was doing a silly dance from hearing the news all the while with a happy grin on my face. :) I missed my friend for so many years and was hoping that someone from Northern Virginia was going to sweep her off her feet and bring her back down South.
After spending time providing her pre-marital advice I am elated to say, “Nelly is finally hitched!”
Her wedding was simply put, “just beautiful.” The ceremony was held at the Epiphany Catholic Church in Washington, D.C. She wore a long wedding gown donned with stunning, beautiful beads on the bodice. Her reception was at Sequoia in Georgetown. If you have never been there you MUST visit to see the gorgeous and delicate chandeliers suspended high above the ceilings.
Congratulations to Nelly and Calvin! I wish you many years of wedded bliss! Thank you for sharing your special day with us! XOXO Amy - ♥ (guest photographer).
