Our Wedding

As far as the Internet goes, it is a pretty romantic story. Both were on match and Natalie had a filter on that would only search men within 5 miles...she didn't even want to date a Manhattanite--only a Brooklynite, because she didn't want to stress about transporting the dogs. One night, Natalie was browsing the match men and the heavens above created a glitch...they showed her someone 23 miles away! In New Jersey! Darn it! But ohhhhhh, he was so cute. In fact, she knew he was her husband and promptly downloaded Tim's match pics and sent them to her mom with the subject title of 'meet your new son-in-law.' Natalie broke two rules that night: She went outside of her borough/mile radius and she reached out first. True love is worth breaking the rules and taking risks! After some back and forth of writing each other some emails, the two met up for a few interesting dates, including a day trip to Washington DC to see cherry blossoms! However, the love continued to grow and 'blossom.' the two have since created a family with baby Stella and the doggies! The proposal was so perfect and magical. It was during the snowstorm in late January of 2016. Tim's school got canceled due to the inclement weather. The opportunists that they are, Nat, Tim, Stella and the dogs spent the day sledding and hiking in Prospect Park. On their way back home, they 'stumbled' upon a huge field where Tim reminded Nat that one of their first dates had taken place there (we had an epic picnic). He then went on to tell her why he knew she was the one during that date. Then he proceeded to get down on his knee. Natalie was in so much shock because she was convinced she would know when he was going to propose (and she had no idea). After some tears and laughter and snot wiping, she finally said, 'yes.' They embraced in the open white snow field for quite some time until the dogs and Stella reminded them that it was freezing outside. It was the perfect setting with the perfect family members and with the perfect element of surprise! We are so excited to share our special day with you and be witnessed by our loved ones in this sacred ceremony of marriage!

We Met on the World Wide Web!!!

Q + A

Rooms must be reserved at least 3 weeks prior to receive special rate. Please indicate you are reserving for the Berthold-Ryan wedding. This hotel is conveniently located less than 1/4 mile from the wedding and reception venue.

Best Western Plus Concordville Hotel

If you are an out-of-town guest who is flying into Philly airport (closest airport), you could uber or rent a car from airport (rates are super cheap) so that you have some freedom to explore the area a bit. Both hotels are within walking distance to the venue and lots of stores, but I would cab/uber it to and from the ceremony. If you are traveling from airport, let Nat + Tim know if you would like to carpool with someone else who is doing the same and we will see what we can do! Same applies for hotel rooms if you desire to share! <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/914+Baltimore+Pike,+Glen+Mills,+PA+19342/@39.8839065,-75.5338782,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x89c6faabb21842dd:0x8e9369f87127a921!8m2!3d39.8839065!4d-75.5316895?hl=en">Click here</a> to get directions via Google to our ceremony + reception venue.

This hotel is also conveniently located less than 1/4 mile from the wedding and reception venue. If you have dogs, this hotel is dog friendly (so we will be staying here with Argos and Athena). Conversely, if you are allergic to dogs or would rather not have them around, you should stay at the other hotel. Additionally, if you are traveling early and would like to join us for dinner on Friday night, yet you don't want to deal with the hassle of transportation, this is where we will be eating (check out more details on the events page).
