Location: Gallery O on H
Introduction:
Nicole and Reggie are a classic match! First meeting each other at Old Dominion University, those around them knew that they were inseparable. Both natives of DC, it was only right that they chose a venue with a summer garden in one of the city's most active areas--H Street. Gallery O on H provided the perfect quaint setting for this lovely couple.
Prep:
The ladies decided to get ready in an AirBnB space that was right across the street from the venue. There was plenty of music and laughter as they prepared for Nicole's big day. The bridesmaids showered Nicole with love and made sure she was as happy as one could be. The gentlemen came to the venue mostly dressed and finished the final touches of their attire inside of the gallery on the upper level. There was plenty of brotherly love and drinks to calm Reggie's nerves.
Ceremony:
The ceremony was a very family-oriented, intimate setting. Nicole was met by her father (also the officiant) on the outer staircase and gracefully descended down to the ceremony space. The couple shared laughs and smiles during their vows while tears of happiness could be seen pouring from guests and a few bridesmaids. The couple opted to perform the Feet Washing ceremony to symbolize their commitment to each other. The ceremony fit the couple perfectly as this DC couple had the sounds of the city to accompany them as they hopped over the broom and leading the processional as Mr. and Mrs. Sellers!
Reception:
As the sun began to set, the couple began to party with their guests. Surrounded by love, the couple enjoyed their first dance as husband and wife. Meanwhile, both father of the bride and mother of the groom struggled to hold back the tears during their dances. The delicious buffet dinner was capped with cupcakes, macaroons and cookies to which the children in attendance made sure to get their fill. We snuck the couple away from the gallery for a short walk down DC's H Street. They were congratulated by many of the people we passed by. The night ended with the couple's sparkler-lit grand exit.
Conclusion:
We want to sincerely thank Nicole and Reggie for allowing us to be a part of their special day. It was a beautiful display of love and an amazing time in the city. We wish them nothing but the best as they begin their life together! Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Sellers!
