Renee & Gary in Glen Echo, MD

Renee and Gary met while working together, and after Gary proposed to her in the Las Vegas airport -- “We traveled a lot together, so we got to know each other in airports!” Renee says -- the two began planning a Maryland wedding. When mulling over locales, they considered the site of their first date, the Inn at Glen Echo, but then they thought of the amusement park just nearby. “What better place for a party than the bumper car pavilion?” Renee says.
