Joseph and Rebecca’s June Wedding

Tell us the story of how you met.

We met in 8th grade Geometry, and started dating soon after. We have been together for over 9 years and have made it through middle and high school and tackled college together!
Rebecca headed to Jacksonville University in Florida, while Joseph stayed in Maryland at Frostburg State University. Despite the distance between us, our bond remained unshakeable, and Joseph proposed senior year of college.

Why did you choose The Christian Royer House?

Joseph found the venue! Ultimately the willow trees were a big selling point!
