We are getting married on Saturday, September 21, 2013, at 10:45 a.m. at the Josephine Butler Parks Center, a 18,000 sq ft, 40-room Renaissance-revival style mansion across the street from a scenic park in downtown Washington, D.C. A short reception will follow the ceremony. We plan to serve brunch and cupcakes. This will be an adult only event, so unfortunately there will be no children at our wedding.
