With the crisp cold weather starting to settle into the Nation’s Capitol, it moved my mind to think of warm summer days and the romantic thoughts of Jeromy & Eileen’s intimate rooftop wedding.

Jeromy & Eileen’s souls connected when these two brave soldiers met approximately six years ago while serving our country in Iraq.  Eileen (Navy) and Jeromy (Army) would encounter each other on several occasions during their duties abroad.  Years would pass and they would take different paths until they would meet again to ignite the spark between the two of them.  Jeromy knew that Eileen was the one for him!  Arriving full-cirlce, the two of them merged their families together to unite as “one” on August 1, 2015.

The wedding was a small intimate affair of their closest family and friends on a beautiful rooftop garden overlooking the historic monuments in Washington, DC.  The wedding party consisted of Eileen’s daughters as bridesmaids, along with Jeromy’s daughter, Eileen’s sister, and her two best friends.  Jeromy’s son was his best man along with his closest friends.  Our gorgeous Bride graced the aisle to the music of “Canon in D” wearing a cool platinum gown with a rustic bow with her head crowned with vibrant shades of pink garden roses.  Our dapper groom wore a classic gray long tail tuxedo with gray pinstriped pants – he was so handsome.  Jeromy & Eileen were surrounded by family and friends, and most importantly their kids whom were the focal point of their shared love for each other.

After the garden ceremony, guests enjoyed a beautiful cocktail reception on the rooftop patio and later assembled inside for a dinner reception catered by our friends at Main Event Caterers.  From the heart-touching speeches by Jeromy and Eileen’s kids, to the carefully synchronized first dance by the couple, it was a magical evening of elegance and simplicity!  The evening was filled with love and ended with a romantic kiss under the stars which was beautifully captured by our friends at Procopio Photography.

Congratulations to Jeromy & Eileen!  A love united on August 1, 2015.
