If you've got some free time before the ceremony, we highly recommend taking a stroll through scenic and historic Oldtown Ellicott City (affectionally known as OEC by us locals).

For breakfast, we like Little Market Cafe (open at 9am) or Old Mill Cafe (open at 7am).

For lunch, you can't go wrong with Manor Hill Tavern, where we go for special occasions (or for our weekly running club) or the Trolley Stop (followed by a walk on the Trolley Trail, of course).
