Our Wedding

It was easily the worst dance of their lives.&nbsp;​Held at a friend's barn in Williamsburg, it was a swing dance meant for young adults to come together and have fun.​No one was dancing.The food was all gone.And the party was dying fast.​Over the course of the night, Brandon, trying to make the most of the night with his friends, noticed a girl by herself that was on the outskirts of the dance floor trying to make herself busy, moving around the room.​Luz Marie, convinced by her mom to come down to this dance, had came alone and was contemplating whether to cut her losses and leave the party.​The party ended early and Brandon seeing this as his only chance, went up to the girl to strike the conversation. Luz Marie, surprised by interaction, joined in the conversation.​Surprisingly, they both lived in the DC area, which was 3 hours away from the dance. After getting up the courage, Brandon asked for Marie's number and the worst dance of their lives became one of the best nights of their lives.

Tyson's Corner is one of the biggest malls in the area. Four huge levels of stores and restaurants for you to explore. In fact, our first date was at the pizzeria called "&amp;pizza", and no, that is not a typo.&nbsp;

Muse Painter is a fun place where you can paint following the instructions of a professional painter while drinking cocktails or mocktails (like we did). Fun fact:&nbsp;this is the place where we became boyfriend and girlfriend.&nbsp;

Muse Paintbar - Mosaic District

We love food and Marie is a self-proclaimed foodie. Some of Marie's favorite restaurants to try out are&nbsp;Peruvian. As an authentic Peruvian herself, she says that this place is the best Peruvian place in the DMV area.

If you haven't been, then the quintessential stop in this area is the Nation's Capitol. There are museums by the dozen and plenty of historic sights&nbsp;to check out, like the White House.

National Mall

Old Town Alexandria is definitely a local gem. Downtown Alexandria is right next to the waterfront, making it a beautiful walk as you past by the historic features of Alexandria, the local restaurants and stores, and just enjoying the waterfront. We have come down here a couple of times, including for Alexandria's 275th birthday celebration and firework show!
