Rich and Patrice were married this past weekend at the Ritz Carlton Pentagon City and it was the most amazing way to kick off our 2021 wedding season!
The Couple
From Rich and Patrice: “Our love story began in Washington, DC, August of 2018. We were introduced through a mutual friend, Kei Lewis. After some heavy persuasion from Kei and a few group outings together, Patrice finally agreed to go on an ‘official’ date. Rich followed with some serious courtship and slowly but surely, love grew. They’ve been inseparable ever since!
“The perfect match of a northern hard-working woman and a southern gentleman! Patrice, a DC native and Rich born and raised in Columbia, SC; this rare combination manifested into a picture-perfect union!
“Rich and Patrice have created some unforgettable memories and an unbreakable bond. These two have reached some incredible milestones and have shaped a wonderful path forward for themselves. In March of 2020, Rich popped the question on the beautiful brown sands of Virginia Beach and Patrice said YES! They are more than ready to start this beautiful chapter of their lives together and receive all the blessings that are in store for them!”
The Wedding
Rich and Patrice’s wedding was the most incredible way for us to kick off our 2021 wedding season. My soul needed this. Loving, wonderful families, a strong bond and soul connection between Patrice and Rich, and an awesome party that gave me hope that normalcy is just around the corner. Words won’t do this day justice, so I’ll let the photos speak for themselves. Congratulations Patrice and Rich! It was such an honor to be a part of your day.
