Our Wedding

We'd been friends for a while before we'd decided to go out on our first&nbsp;date.&nbsp; We realized we'd been talking late into the night for a few weeks and thought to try out a date.

&nbsp;George planned a first date to remember. It all started with a romantic dinner at &nbsp;Vinoteca in Shaw, followed by karaoke at Muzette in Adams Morgan (and a duet of "Paradise by the Dashboard Light"). On our way to our last stop at Bedrock Billiards, George's favorite dive bar, a man actually stopped us on the street and said,&nbsp;"you two will be very happy together."&nbsp;

 And he was right.

Michelle has been Liz's best friend for &nbsp;20 years (yikes!), ever since a faithful day in 3rd Grade lunch period at St. Mary's.&nbsp; Michelle saw Liz sitting alone at lunch, asked if she could eat with her... then Michelle asked if they could be best friends. Liz said yes and the rest is history.&nbsp;Michelle lives in PA with her husband James and their delightful doggy Shadow.&nbsp;

Steph lives in DC with her ragdoll cat Bruno.&nbsp;

Tanya is Liz's cousin on her father's side, and has been like an older sister and confidant to her as they've gotten older.&nbsp; Their closeness started over many childhood&nbsp;&nbsp;summers, holidays, weekends -- adventures, writing and&nbsp;starring in plays -- together with the Huston clan.&nbsp; Tanya lives in VA with her husband Jerred and Liz's&nbsp;unbelievably cute niece Ena.&nbsp;

Tanya Ley

Chloe is George's younger sister -- and Liz is touched and honored she's standing with the Bride on the special day.&nbsp; Chloe, George, and Liz spend as much time together as possible, and Liz feels so lucky to soon be able to call her a Sister-in-Law.

Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA)

About 

A classic Washington DC hotel, The Willard is steeped in 200 years of American history: President Abraham Lincoln lived here while writing his Inaugural Address and Martin Luther King, Jr. stayed in the lobby with his advisors putting finishing touches to his powerful and enduring “I Have a Dream” speech. &nbsp;(It’s rumored the word “lobbyist” was coined by Ulysses S Grant in the lobby!). The famous address is centrally located to the National Mall and the wedding ceremony venue.&nbsp;
