Our Wedding

The History

From Virginia, to Ohio, to Nebraska, to Maryland, to Ohio, and to Ohio again... From texting, to phone calls, to football games... from meet ups at half-way points, to holidays, to moving into our first house... from a puppy daughter, to concerts, to buffalo chicken pizzas.... from new jobs, to more pizzas, and at last, a proposal in Florida... here we are NOW!Yes, that's just the general overview. There are too many good times to share and we don't want to bore you with all the juicy details. While the night we first met wasn't exactly a romantic, fairy tale encounter, it was certainly one for the books. On that night and throughout that whole weekend, we both realized we found our forever person. We know fate brought us together and we feel beyond lucky to have you celebrate with us on our special day! Wear your dancing shoes because if you know us at all, you know we like to have a good time! #EmilyAndKyleDownTheAisle

Our Story

Details

Married on September 12, 1987. 29 years and counting!

Peter and Ginny Weinberger

Married on May 21, 1988. 29 years and counting!

Gary and Debbie Johns

Coming from Los Angeles, CA. Emily's best friend and rock, even from the opposite coast. Will dance battle every guest in attendance...and win.

Lindsay Malinchak

Coming from Canton, OH. Kyle's favorite brother. He's a few years younger, but they often get mistaken for twins. Is he going to give a toast or a roast?

Brett Johns

Coming from Columbus, OH. Kyle's BFF and roomie. Enjoys a fine plate of cheese curds. Has mid-west values and a heart of gold. 

Pat Schwartz

Coming from Chicago, IL. Emily's mother refers to her as "her sensible friend who makes sure the girls are acting like ladies" (ya right, mom).

Christina Liou

Coming from Alexandria, VA. All friends would agree that she is the most thoughtful one. And if she's involved, Emily's involved. 'Nuf said. 

Nikita Vahab

Coming from Columbus, OH. Kyle's BFF and roomie. Likes long walks on the beach, strawberry daiquiris, and a good deal on a short-sleeved button down from TJ Maxx.

Danny Simons

Coming from Brookeville, MD. Almost a college graduate, so if you know anyone hiring, talk to this guy. He's not your typical millenial.

Cooper Weinberger

Coming from Portland, OR. The witness to the Kyle-Emily love story, as Emily introduced Kyle as, "My date, John," to her on the night they met. 

Megan Mornini

Coming from North Lawrence, OH. Kyle wouldn't be into hunting and fishing if it wasn't for him. This guy taught Kyle how to party hard in his very own garage... but we'll save those details for another time.

Cole Harrold

Coming from Dalton, OH. Emily and Kyle's puppy child, Kearney, wouldn't be with them today if it wasn't for her. Try and out-craft her... you can't.

Kalie Harrold

Coming from Springboro, OH. "Jordan, it's Friday and I want queso." "Be right over." Who doesn't want a friend like that? 

Jordan Lance

Coming from Brookeville, MD. He is really saying, "How long will the wedding take... because I'd rather be playing Skyrim."

Jacob Weinberger

Emma Harig

Coming from Brookeville, MD. He is known for being the life of the party. You can expect unlimited high-fives and smiles from this guy.

OTHER HOTELS IN THE AREA:

Travel

There is plenty to see in Washington DC, but the Tuesday after our wedding happens to be the Fourth of July! If you are thinking about extending the weekend to be a longer get-a-way, you will already be very close to the nation's capital! If you like hot weather and big crowds, you should definitely check out all that DC has to offer! (We aren't exaggerating about the size of the crowds, but it is definitely something people should check out at least once!)

Washington, DC, United States

If you like history, hiking, the great outdoors, battlefields, and river tubing, Harpers Ferry, WV may be the place for you (and your family)! All of what Harpers Ferry has to offer is only 40 minutes from our wedding venue!

Harpers Ferry, WV, United States

Do you want to drink Natty Boh's and experience a (real) crab cake from Maryland??! Turn on your Old Bay taste buds and go to the Baltimore Inner Harbor. One of Kyle and Emily's first dates took place at the Baltimore Aquarium. This is a little over 1 hour from the wedding venue.

Inner Harbor, Baltimore, MD, United States

You betcha' we do! Virginia has a lot of beautiful wineries and vineyards. The wineries in the Shenandoah Valley have a lot of scenic views and outdoor activities close by, such as the Skyline Drive at Shenandoah National Park.
