They were paired to walk on the aisle together. Erin was the bridesmaid of her close girl friend who was getting married to Mike’s brother. After that, you can imagine how special this love story is.

Surrounding by flowers and nature Erin and Mike chose Surreybrooke in Middletown, MD to shoot their engagement photos. A romantic atmosphere which fit perfectly their personalities.  They love going out for dinner with endless themes to talk about, spending moments with their families, and walking with their dogs. Everything in this love story is so romantic and special that makes us want to fall in love too.

Check out this lovely session followed by their interview.

How did you meet?

Mike’s brother married a close girl friend of mine. I had the honor of being her bridesmaid, and Mike was his
brother’s groomsman. Ironically enough, we were paired up to walk down the aisle together. Our wedding
will be the second wedding that we walk down the aisle together only this time as bride and groom!

Where did you go for your 1st date?

He picked me up and when I got in the car, there was a beautiful bouquet of flowers waiting for me in my
seat. We went to Clyde’s for a wonderful dinner.

How did he propose? Can you describe that moment?

Mike surprised me with a stay at the Watergate Hotel in DC. He had rose petals scattered on the floor and
petal and 2 full bouquets of roses on the bed. He had a surprise dinner reservation at Filomena Ristorante, a
nice Italian restaurant with fabulous food. Then, we went out for a night on the town. When we got back to
our hotel room, he got down on one knee and popped the question! The next day, he had a surprise
celebration set up at Ziki Japanese restaurant with both of our families and some of my closest friends.

Mike, describe something that you absolutely love about Erin

How sweet, kind, bubbly and charismatic she is.

Erin, describe something that you absolutely love about Mike

I feel like he is the most kind-hearted, loving, and caring person. He is also family oriented and hard-working
and constantly reminds me how much he truly loves me.

Any special song?
