The Bride Carissa Rice, 30, an aesthetician and makeup artist at MAC Cosmetics The Groom Andrew Grayson, 31, a student at University of Maryland University College The Date July 24 To reflect the venue’s history (it’s a former jailhouse), Carissa and Andrew went with a “Prisoner of Love” theme, which they rounded out with a red, white and gold palette.

Friends and family signed in and were fingerprinted—a fitting guest book idea.
For the reception, Carissa removed the bolero and accessorized with a crystal and feather hairpiece.
Carissa carried a white bouquet for the ceremony and switched to a red one for the couple’s grand entrance to the reception.
LED-lit pedestals topped with white flowers lined the aisle, while a chandelier with hanging votives created an ethereal atmosphere.
The couple served a mix of prosecco, pineapple juice and St-Germain to toast their “golden future.”
For a “red-hot reception,” the couple had bright-red linens and seat cushions.
Each table was labeled with a different “cellblock” number.
The round windows and façade of The Liberty Hotel inspired the cake’s design.
Menus embellished with Swarovski crystals and bright-red napkins rested atop clear and gold glass chargers.
