Our Wedding

Maggie and Will were “ships passing in the night,” growing up outside of D.C.,&nbsp;living sometimes in the same neighborhood and going to college mere miles apart.&nbsp;

Maggie and Will met in their first year of law school.&nbsp; They got to know each other especially well in their one small class&mdash;contracts.&nbsp; That class met in a basement classroom Tuesdays through Thursdays beginning at 11:00 am, which was out of sync with the rest of the school and allowed them an extra half hour to hang out between classes.&nbsp; They bonded over their shared sense of humor,&nbsp;and love of advice columns and all things&nbsp;D.C.&nbsp; Years later, the famous comedian and fictional warehouse foreman Craig Robinson wrote and performed a short song about this part of their courtship.





They fell for each other over the summer of 2015 in Washington, D.C., working between law school semesters and going on long runs and to bar trivia on Tuesdays.&nbsp; The rest is history.

How We Met

Is Maggie and Will’s cat who Maggie adopted in Atlanta.&nbsp; She is part Siamese, hypo-allergenic, hyper-photogenic, and was Station House DC’s’ July 2017&nbsp;Pet of the Month.
