It was a day of pure joy after years of their globe-trotting friendship.

Nick and Abbie have a long history despite their youth. Their globe-trotting families threw them together in high school in Germany where a friendship started. Not always on the same continent, but always in touch, their friendship grew. Eight years later, the couple walked down the aisle of the breathtakingly beautiful Saint Mary of Sorrow Catholic Church and danced the night away at the Chantilly National Golf Club.
