John and Cady met on Cady’s first day of work. During toasts at the wedding, Cady’s sister humorously said “Growing up, Cady never met a rule she couldn’t follow.” This was why she found it so surprising when Cady clued her in that she was trying not to fall in love with her boss, John! Needless to say, her efforts were all for naught. The two of them began a romantic relationship, fell in love and the rest is history. This is lucky for us because their traditional Old Town Alexandria wedding is a stunner!

Cady’s family home is near Old Town Alexandria, and she loves the town’s history. She and John wanted a traditional Alexandria wedding that took advantage of Old Town’s natural charm. From getting ready at home, to their ceremony at St. Mary’s Catholic Church on South Royal Street, followed by a reception at Mount Vernon Country Club, their wedding day did just that. We’re pretty in love with their classically elegant invitation suite by UWL vendor, The Dandelion Patch, and their 6 tiered cake by Cakefest. Thank you toRebekah Emily Photography for sharing this beautifully classic wedding day with us!
