Betsy and Whitney were married in a lovely outdoor ceremony at Chase Court, on October 3, 2008. It's a beautiful privately-owned historic building, with striking architecture. It lies hidden away in Baltimore city, tucked between a church and another large building nearby.

On a table, waiting, their guests names sparkled in the afternoon light.

Betsy got ready, enjoying the time spent with her bridesmaids and close friends.

Betsy and Whitney chose their date to honor Betsy's parents, who were also married on that date. A few years ago, Betsy's father passed away, and she remembered him with a charm on her bouquet.

Her mother walked her down the aisle and fixed her train on her way to the altar. After poetry, vows, and rings, they kissed!

At the reception, the groom talked and laughed with friends.

In lieu of a wedding cake, Betsy & Whitney opted to have fresh Berger cookies, a Baltimore favorite, instead!

As often happens, folks kicked off their shoes to facilitate some wild dancing.

Kayla, the flower girl, made the most of the dance floor, stealing the spotlight and singing along to a catchy tune for everyone to see.

And of course, everyone joined in on the fun after the food (provided by Biddle Street Catering) was gone, with music provided by Kode Bleuu.

I wish the new family, Betsy, Whitney, and Kayla, many years of happiness!
