We just love when a groom is smitten with his new bride just like today’s Hyatt Regency Wedding by Kathleen Hertel Photography. His bride, Cortney, tells us, “As many of you know… we were fortunate enough to have won a dream wedding contest at the Hyatt Regency Baltimore! The terms of the contest: Write your love story and why you should be the best couple to be married in Baltimore. George, being the hopeless romantic that he is, decided to write his version of our love story! ‘It was Orioles Opening Day of 2012 and my lifetime best friend since kindergarten, Grant, asked me if I wanted to tag along with him to the game; he was heading into Baltimore with his girlfriend (now fiance) and her University of Maryland cheerleading teammate Cortney. At the time I was a single, 24 year old Orioles fan living in Otterbein with my friends, saying yes was pretty much a no brainer. The three of them came to my house to get started, and when Cortney walked in I was floored by her beauty, fun personality, and contagious laugh. We had an unbelievable time, it has been 724 days since and Cortney and I haven’t gone an hour without talking. We started dating right away and since then we have been through wild ups and downs, our connection has grown stronger through a wealth of experiences in Baltimore. I think about Cortney all day, every day, I can’t get her off of my mind. She is my first call when I am proud, when I am upset, when I have a great story, she is truly my partner. My life is filled with joy now that we are together. From dinners at our favorite restaurants Matsuri and Regi’s, to summer days on our Federal Hill rooftop deck with friends, to jogs around Fort McHenry, we really are lucky and have an amazing life together in Baltimore… I couldn’t be more lucky than to be getting married to Cortney, and can’t wait to see what the future brings!”
