Todd and Holly’s Little Baker Chapel ceremony at McDaniel College in Westminster, MD,formerly known as Western Maryland College, was one of the sweetest ceremonies I have ever witnessed! Little Baker is a beautiful, quaint chapel with rich history. Todd and Holly chose to have their ceremony at McDaniel because it holds special significance to them as they are both alumni. They also appreciate the scenery,the atmosphere, and significance of the rich heritage of the local agricultural community represented at the Carroll County Farm Museum.

Todd and Holly met at work. It was Holly’s first job in high school. She was working at the Starbucks in our local Safeway grocery store at the time and Todd was working nigh shift in the grocery store. So they would run into each other when Holly would open early on weekends and Todd would be just finishing his shift. They only crossed paths a few times during that year, but they struck up a friendship that began to grow. Todd is the quiet, easy-going type, so he pursued Holly slowly, but intentionally. Upon Holly’s last day of work at Starbucks Todd finally got up the courage to ask her for her phone number. She was shocked, not knowing that he had any interest in her beyond friendship. Holly began college at McDaniel that fall and was overwhelmed with the college workload. So freshman year passed and they saw each other very little. The friendship hit a standstill. Then came sophomore year. Holly and Todd crossed paths again at the college because Todd was also attending McDaniel. They began helping each other with coursework and before they knew it they were inseparable. Destiny. Sometimes we have to have the right thing placed in front of us a few times before we realize that the two pieces of the puzzle fit perfectly. But if it’s God’s will, He will give us second chances at His perfect plan for our life, and third chances, and fourth.

I’m so glad that Todd and Holly chose to work with me and that we’ve become friends! Todd and Holly, I’m so grateful for the both of you and eagerly anticipate what the future holds for you! I pray that you have many blessed years of marriage together!
