Dancing their First Dance to Hootie & the Blowfish’s “Hold My Hand” performed by the band Nightsong, Meriel and Garrett kicked off a lively party with their luxe tented wedding! (You know you’re singing it now…holllllddddd myyyyy hannnnddd!) Photographer, Artful Weddings, shares more: “Meriel and Garrett first met on a school skiing trip that both were attending with St. Paul’s Schools. Yet, it wasn’t until after high school that Garrett asked Meriel on their first date. Garrett proposed in 2015 on a family vacation to North Carolina. Their wedding ceremony was in their high school chapel at St. Paul’s and the reception was held on the lawn of Meriel’s childhood home in Lutherville. Event planning and design was with Pam Aiello of Elizabeth Bailey Events and featured simple floral arrangements designed by Peggy Smalley. Meriel’s dress was custom made by Madame Trousseau of NYC, in ivory French lace and cap sleeves. Rouge Catering served guests Maryland rockfish and Provencal beef shortribs. Dessert was a build your own ice cream sundae bar and vanilla cake with buttercream icing. The couple had a sparkler send off and then honeymooned in Bora Bora and Morea.”
