Our Wedding

We met in 2022 the way a lot of people do these days—on Hinge (an online dating app). Our first date was at Cotton &amp; Reed, a rum bar in Washington, D.C., and from the very beginning, the conversation was easy. It didn’t take long for us to realize we had more in common than we expected. Dylan went to the same high school on Long Island as Mary’s dad, and one of Mary’s best friends (and now bridesmaid), Meg, lived right above Dylan’s old apartment—with his groomsman and former roommate, Zach. Small world. A few months later, on May 1st, at a birthday party for our friend and also fellow bridesmaid Emily, we made things official when Dylan asked Mary to be his girlfriend. Three years later, we’ve moved across the country, built a life together in San Francisco, and shared both big and small life moments that have continued to bring us closer. Last fall, Dylan proposed in our favorite spot in Golden Gate Park, the Conservatory of Flowers. Surrounded by flowers and fog, it was a total surprise—and a really good one. Soon after, we celebrated with both Mary &amp; Dylan's families in New York for Thanksgiving, and now, as we get ready to move across the country (again), we’re excited to take the next step—this time with all of you by our side. We can't wait to celebrate our wedding surrounded by the people who’ve supported us through every part of this journey. It means the world to us, and we’re so glad you’ll be part of it.

Venue Information

The Ronald Reagan Building &amp; International Trade Center is located at 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue NW. There are three main points of entry if you are arriving by foot or by rideshare. The main entrance is on the west side of the building on 14th Street NW (this is also where the entrance to the parking garage is located). There is also an entrance from Woodrow Wilson Plaza, on the east side of the building behind the Federal Triangle metro station. There is also a side entrance on D Street NW and 13 1/2 Street NW, below Pennsylvania.

Security Information

Please note that the Ronald Reagan Building &amp; International Trade Center is a government building, and there is a requirement that guests go through a standard security screening upon entry (i.e., metal detector and x-ray machine). Please plan accordingly, and we thank you for your patience when entering the building.

Parking

Parking is available both at the church and the reception venue. The Church has both street parking and a parking lot across the street. The Ronald Reagan building has hourly, daily, and overnight rates available. Please note that because it is a government building, your car could be subject to security screening at the Ronald Reagan Building.

Transportation

All of our hotel room blocks are within walking distance of both the National Press Club and the Ronald Reagan Building, but St. Joseph's Church is about a 10 minute drive away. We recommend that guests use rideshare (Uber/Lyft) to travel to the ceremony at the Church and back to the area with the hotels and reception venue following the Mass.
