Kendra & Trey in Upper Marlboro, MD

There were many reasons that Kendra's mother walked her only child down the aisle to marry Trey. One of them was because if it weren't for Mom, the two never would have met. THE BRIDE Kendra Willey, 25, courtroom clerk THE GROOM Trey Hines, 29, police officer THE DATE October 7 Kendra and Trey met after Kendra's mother was introduced to him. He was a close friend of one of her coworkers, explains Kendra. As soon as he had left the room, my mother picked up the phone, called me, and said, 'I just met my future son-in-law!' As our best man said during his toast, 'It was love at first sight, and then she called her daughter.' But Mom was right -- on our first date, everything just clicked. On what the bride remembers as a beautiful and crisp fall afternoon, Kendra and Trey were married at Mt. Airy Mansion -- one of the oldest mansions in the state, located in Maryland's Rosaryville State Park -- nestled on 1,000 acres of beautifully preserved, lush land.
