We first met Jackie and Matt on a super hot day in Washington, DC last July, at the wedding of their good friends, Rachael and Joe<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0(check out Jackie as a bridesmaid!). We were so excited when they contacted us about their own wedding, to take place in Annapolis just about one year later. Festivities began on a Friday afternoon, when Matt and Jackie boarded the Annapolis Circulator trolley<\/a> with both their sets of parents, to “get official” during a courthouse ceremony.<\/p>\n

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

The chapel was quite lovely, and the ceremony was just perfect for Matt and Jackie, with their parents along for love and support.<\/p>\n

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

Officially husband and wife!<\/p>\n

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

The next day, everyone was ready for a major fiesta … especially our new friend, Oscar, who greeted us at the door and couldn’t get enough love from everyone who stopped by the house.<\/p>\n

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

Everyone got ready at the house, shared some beers, took some photos, and then it was time to head to the city dock in downtown Annapolis to board a chartered boat to the Annapolis Maritime Museum<\/a>!<\/p>\n

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

Oscar wouldn’t let us leave without getting a pic of the new family all together on their front stoop!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Just a stroll through the city with some of the best-looking folks in Annapolis!<\/p>\n

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

After a quick detour with just Jackie and Matt, we met back up with the rest of the wedding party… to find all of them huddled in a little ATM booth to beat the heat!\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

The guests were waiting as Jackie and Matt and their wedding party pulled up in the boat.<\/p>\n

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

The newlyweds!\"\"<\/p>\n

The best way to kick off a fiesta is with a great mariachi band, and Mariachi Las Americas<\/a> did not disappoint.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We love the style of this wedding party… floral dresses and plaid ties, flowers in the girls’ hair, and sunflower bouquets! Yes!<\/p>\n

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

So many awesome details! Traditional “papel picado” banners were strung from the rafters, a Day of the Dead bride and groom pi\u00c3\u00b1ata, and mini maracas for all the guests.<\/p>\n

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

Hey, we know these two! One year of marriage looks good on you, Joe and Rachael!<\/p>\n

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

A highlight of the evening was when a good friend of the bride and groom, a Spanish teacher, emceed the bashing of the pi\u00c3\u00b1ata with special music. It was a little scary (blindfolded men, and ladies too, swinging bats!) but really funny, too.<\/p>\n

\"\"And, of course, no party is complete without our silly station<\/a> photo booth!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Crow Entertainment<\/a> provided dancing tunes for the remainder of the evening. (Nice sombrero, Matt!)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And, as if the pi\u00c3\u00b1ata was not enough, at the end of the night, cascarones were passed out to the guests, who proceeded to smash these hollowed-out eggs filled with confetti all over Matt and Jackie! Don’t worry, that was what was supposed to happen… it’s for good luck!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Matt and Jackie, congratulations, and thanks for an outstanding party! We’d fiesta with you anytime!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
