Longtime loves tie the knot with Baltimore botanical garden wedding
Dori and Ellen have been together over 20 years and one day they woke up and decided it was time. They wasted no time in collecting their vendors and putting plans in motion. While they wouldn’t follow traditional guidelines, they knew what they wanted. Opting for a velvet suit and a sequin purple gown, the pair walked down the aisle together in style.

The wine and cheese were plentiful as Ellen and Dori greeted their guests warmly with hugs. Everyone was all smiles, and the two allowed guests to openly toast them. This allowed for some very raw, emotional moments as they were surrounded by their closest friends and family. Ellen and Dori sang together for the crowd, then danced the night away amongst guests. They finally had the fairytale they never knew they wanted.
