First date

Kevin and I rented a boat at Fletcher’s Cove and paddled up and down the Potomac River while getting to know each other. We followed with dinner at Clyde’s in Georgetown.

The proposal

Kevin proposed in their home in Rockville. Alice loves to scrapbook and he surprised her with a page in her scrapbook that said "Will you marry me?".

Number of people who attended

75

Favorite detail

The cake topper which reflects the couple performing “The Star”, an acrobatic pose that they took a photo of everywhere they traveled together. It has become their signature pose!

Favorite moment of the day

Driving from the ceremony to the reception in the 1931 Model A, driven by the Father of the Groom. It was a gorgeous day and they were able to sit in the rumble seat in the back while cars honked and people shouted congratulations.
