Abby and Chris\u00a0met one New Year’s Eve in New York City. Each had traveled with mutual friends to Madison Square Garden to see Phish, and, a romance was born. Their engagement also involved their favorite band. Phish was doing a two-night run\u00a0in Denver and Abby and Chris went on a hike at Red Rocks before the show. One of their favorite things to do is collect special rocks on their hikes, so Chris put the ring inside a geode before they left for the trip. On the hike, Chris said, \u201cOh, look, there\u2019s a nice one!\u201d Abby became pretty suspicious as she picked up a tennis ball-sized black rock among all the red rocks… Chris then said he noticed a crack and told Abby to try to crack it open. She tried, but it\u00a0didn\u2019t budge… At this point Abby definitely knew something was up. “I figured just a note was inside asking me to marry him, so I quickly threw the geode on a giant rock. It broke into 13 pieces (that we could find). Chris quickly found the ring and got down on one knee. I didn\u2019t even give him time to finish asking before I said, ‘Yes! Yes! Yes!’\u201d Months later, we captured their love of hiking during an engagement session at Cunningham Falls State Park<\/a> in Thurmont.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In late October, it was time for their wedding day, at Dulany’s Overlook<\/a> in Frederick.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

When Abby and Chris were engaged, as part of the proposal, Abby got a special letter from Liza, Chris’s daughter.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

To go along with her white Birkenstocks, Abby found her wedding gown at\u00a0Posh Bridal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Abby’s dad’s reaction upon seeing her for the first time that day was pretty special.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Hair and makeup duties were by\u00a0Brenda Dalton of\u00a0Rose Brooke Studio<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Stunning florals from\u00a0Wildflower Weddings at Bend in the River Farm<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Liza led her dad to his first look with his bride.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Liza and Chris are very musically talented, and helped the whole gathered crowd sing a special song during the ceremony, with Abby on backup, shaking a box of borrowed Altoids. They don’t call them the Bupptones for nothing!<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Dancing tunes were provided by\u00a0Shew-sical Entertainment Services.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

When she heard they’d be serving barbecue (from the amazing P.I.G.S. BBQ Catering<\/a>) this guest created special aprons, so the bride and groom’s best duds didn’t get saucy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They also used the aprons when they created this unique piece of drip art together as a family.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Tastefully Ever After<\/a>\u00a0brought the cake.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

The Phish-themed groom’s cake was brought by a friend.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Guests were asked to spread the love by hiding some of these Frederick Rocks<\/a> around town.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We brought along our Silly Station<\/a> photo booth for some extra fun at the reception!<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

And a glow-stick sendoff ended the night!<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

What an amazing day, spent with two of the most amazing people. Lots of love to you both, Abby and Chris, and best wishes for many happy years together!<\/p>\n
