[Wedding] Bing & Roy – Oxon Hill Manor in Oxon Hill, Maryland

We arrived early that morning at the Gaylord National Resort where all the girls were getting ready. Wait, a resort in the heart of Washington DC’s National Harbor? Yes, and it’s a very beautiful one at that! Imagine a gazillion floors of balconies facing an indoor atrium with the morning sun shining in, minus the heat and humidity of a Mid-Atlantic summer! A flurry of bridal prep was already underway when we stepped into Bing’s suite, and she greeted us with banana bread she had baked just the night prior. “I didn’t sleep much last night” she said, as she offered us a piece. We didn’t think so :).
