Diane mentioned during our Skype conversation between Baltimore and Brazil that her wedding to Justin would be “incredibly international.” She wasn’t kidding. With the couple living in Sao Paulo and their closest friends and family members scattered across the United States and as many as seven countries, there was no obvious or easy place to hold the wedding. So with a couple of librarians in the family and a bride who describes herself as an English teacher who wishes she could be a librarian, the book lovers chose Baltimore’s Cathedral of Books as the site of their nuptials. “I found the Peabody on a web site of the most beautiful libraries in the world six or seven years ago and bookmarked it on my computer,” Diane explained. “I have never stopped thinking about it and we booked it as our venue even though I had never seen it in person.” After a fun morning of getting ready separately with their attendants, Diane + Justin decided to see each other before the ceremony for photos. We were graced with beautiful late-afternoon light in Mount Vernon Place and chased the last of it down Charles Street, where we played with their shadows on a glittering wall. The ceremony was full of beautiful personal touches — the groom’s father sang a tune from his son’s childhood and all the bouquets and boutonnieres featured the bride’s favorite bloom, sunny, happy daffodils. After a room flip during cocktail hour, guests were invited back into the Stacks Room, where tables were named for the couple’s favorite books, bookmarks at each place bore favorite quotes from those tomes and a motorcycle cake topper served as a nod to the couple’s first date when Justin offered Diane a ride from the school where they worked as teachers in adjoining classrooms. The day could not have been more lovely. Here are many, many favorites from their big day:
