Reception

Our Wedding

Michele met Joe on an online dating website in 2016. Michele saw that Joe's profile stated that he lived in Africa as a Peace Corps Volunteer. Michele then sent a message that she visited Africa. After a few messages back and forth, they met for a first date, at The Green Turtle Bar and Grill. Michele liked Joe's charming humor and Joe enjoyed the witty stories Michele told. Their second date was at an Orioles game where Michele snuggled into Joe's arms and shared her popcorn with him. Over the last eight years, Joe and Michele have shared their love of travel with each other. Their top three places they have visited have been Universal Studios Orlando, the National Parks out West, and Scotland. Throughout their travels they have visited many museums to feed Michele's passion for exhibits. They have attended many sporting events, trekked along many hiking trails, and experienced many other amusement parks. They have recently joined a Pickle Ball League together to go along with Joe's love of tennis. On Easter Sunday 2024, Joe proposed to Michele after eight years of dating. Joe and Michele are looking forward to seeing you on May 17, 2025, at Gertrude's, at the Baltimore Museum of Art. They thank you for all your love and support.

Our Story

To select only a few relatives and friends for our wedding party seemed futile. We love and care about each one of you and we couldn't possibly single out only a few of you for our private wedding ceremony.

The Walters Art Museum

This is right outside of the Walter's Art Museum. You can climb the steps to the top, but there is no elevator.

Washington Monument

You will want to use transportation to travel to Fort McHenry. We would not recommend walking to the site from the Inner Harbor due to the distance and neighborhoods.
