SYLVANA
ARE CELEBRATING THEIR WEDDING
DUNCAN LORE
THEIR MAGICAL FIRST DATE
In the crucible of a College Park bowling alley their love began to simmer with an energetic urgency that motivated nearby couples to re-examine their own poultry efforts. With buffalo cauliflower wings in heavy consumption and with the cunning employment of personally probing questions they each fiercely tried to out-score the other. Between ball after ball hurling furiously down the lane, they shot at each other wondering glances.
Those glances wondered at a great many things… Were these buffalo'd bits of cauliflower spicy enough? Surely not. Was the personally probing questioning spicy enough? Well, it involved god and metal music, so you make your own mind up.
Needless to say, but Zachary reached deep into his reserve of bowling brilliance to win by about 100 points.
Yes, but you didn't win the next game did you? Or the basketball arcade machine before. But you didn't mention that…
It's hardly worth delving into such fine details. The point is that, as though some meddlesome sprite tethered their bowling shoe laces together, they each tripped and fell head-first into Love's wonderful concussion.
And I can happily confirm that they never recovered…
EVENT DETAILS
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
We invite you to dress in garden-party attire — think long dresses in soft spring colors and florals, and suits with light fabrics. Heels are welcome, though you may prefer a block heel or flats for the grass.
WILL WE BE OUTDOORS?
Our ceremony will take place outdoors. Our reception will be under a tent but still in the open air.
Please plan for the weather and bring a light layer for the evening as the sun sets.
WHERE SHOULD I PARK?
Parking will be available on site.
AT WHAT HOTELS SHOULD I STAY?
We have a block reserved under "Duncan" (use this link to book) at the Garden Inn Hilton in Downtown Annapolis. Though be aware that for discounted prices, you must stay 2 nights. This hotel is about a 30min drive from the venue.
We also encourage you to stay at the Anchored Inn in Deale - a quaint, small inn. This inn is about a 7min drive from the venue.
ARE THERE THINGS TO DO IN THE AREA?
If you’re making a weekend of it, here are a few nearby favorites:
-
Skipper’s Pier in Deale for classic Chesapeake Bay seafood and waterfront views.
-
Black Market Bakers for coffee, pastries, and a cozy morning stop.
-
Historic Annapolis, just a short drive away, for charming streets, harbor views and local shops.
