We can't wait to share our special day with all of you! Since all of you are coming to our town, we hope we'll be able to show you some of our favorite places. Frederick, Maryland is a great place and we hope you enjoy your time in the area.

The ceremony will be held at the ThorpeWood in Thurmont, Maryland, about 20 minutes from downtown Frederick. We will have transportation (party buses!) waiting to pick you up at The Hilton Garden Inn of Frederick. Times for the buses are still TBD, but we'll let you know. We highly suggest using these buses- The ThorpeWood is tucked into the side of the Catoctin Mountains and the road is curvy and crazy. Even in full daylight it's tricky, let alone at night.
The ceremony begins at 5pm. A cocktail hour will follow, and then it's time for dinner and dancing! The reception ends at 10:30pm. Buses will be there once again to take you back to the hotel- there will be a few rounds, so don't worry, if you need to leave earlier, you can.
There will, most likely, be a group of people just not ready to stop celebrating- we'll be headed to downtown Frederick to keep the party going. Please join us if you'd like.
On Sunday morning, if you have time and your travel plans allow, please join us for brunch at 10:30am at the Frederick Hilton Garden Inn. There will be vouchers in your welcome bags. We'll all say our goodbyes, and you can wish us well before we head out on our honeymoon to HAWAII! :)
