She was a high-powered, no-BS D.C. marketing manager. He was a dilettante 'researcher' with some change in his pocket and dreams of making it big in the nation's capital. Where did they meet?

The Watergate, of course.

With somewhat less intrigue than the famous Watergate Scandal—but with maybe no less flair—Meg and Igor's D.C. adventures included such hits as...

— Meg having more courage than Igor (what else is new) to make the first move and invite him out for drinks under a 'group hang' rouse

— The couple somehow ending up at a private box at an Andrea Bocelli concert, including a bait-and-switch involving foreign governments and chicken tenders

— Many, many delightful evenings at the Taupe House, including an especially choice Halloween Party

— Territorial disputes and, eventually, finding peace and harmony with the main man in Meg's life (Pepper)

— Countless delicious meals, including at Maketto and at Southern spots not unlike our choices for the wedding feast

— and many more good times with friends and family, including many of those reading this page.

We are blessed to have met, courted, shared our first home, and grown closer in such a wonderful city—and look forward to celebrating our bond together with you.

We can't wait to see you!
