Hannah and Nat were married at the beautiful Meadowlark Botanical Gardens in Northern Virginia. Hannah got ready for the day at her parent’s historic home in Vienna.

Nat got ready with his groomsmen at a nearby hotel.

Meadowlark’s Atrium opens to a lovely terrace surrounded by flowers–the perfect place for the ceremony!

Hannah shares, “While it was very hard to choose my absolute favorite moment from the wedding day, I would say that the little things that went wrong ended up being the things I loved the most. During the ceremony, one of our rings fell while the pastor was talking about the rings being everlasting and indestructible. We also ended up having to push a golf cart up a small hill while taking pictures (poor Jessica had to help). Nat and I laughed through it all and I think it was a good representation of what our life is going to be like together. Things will go wrong but there will always be time for laughter.

My other favorite moment was after we were married, when we finally turned around to face everyone. When I was walking down the aisle I was really only looking at Nat and obviously while we were getting married my back was to everyone. It was incredible to see all of our friends and family smiling back at us. The love and support was overwhelming.”

Hannah continues, “In our new married life, I think I’m most excited for a lifetime of discussions. Nat truly is my best friend and it’s always been incredibly easy to talk to him. I’m greatly looking forward to talking about everything from books, movies, and life changes to heated debates about who cleans more dishes.”

  1. Brian Geren says:

    Hannah and Nat – We were so delighted (yes, I used delighted) to be a part of the nuptials and of course the subsequent celebration. We had a blast! There has been a ton of memories being friends with your dad for the past 42 years, Hannah, and of course watching you and James grow up along with our Kyle and Kelly. Your wonderful mom accepted us into her life from our very first meeting. And now there is Nat. You did good. May you two enjoy the wonders of life together. Brian, Donna, Kyle and Kelly Geren
