LOOKING GOOD LAUNCH PARTY LOOK OUT! THE EXPERTS

Refining Spa Creek BY KYMBERLY TAYLOR | PHOTOGRAPHY BY JENNIFER KOLOSKY EASTMAN True artists respond viscerally to a paintings’ lines, proportions, fields of color. Mistakes can actually assault (I have been told) the highly trained eye. Experienced builders are much the same. In a split second, they can assess a structure’s “bones,” pinpoint a flaw in a brick lintel, and perceive a poorly placed joist. This is the case with Bret Anderson, founder of Pyramid Builders and owner of the new South Annapolis Yacht Centre. Five years ago, he strolled through Sarles Boatyard and Petrini Shipyard on Spa Creek. The views across the creek were stunning, but his eyes were elsewhere: scanning foundation cracks, noting exposed rusty nails, standing polluted water, peeling lead paint on degenerating buildings. With a builder’s intuition, he sensed death in the air. Not just physical death—the historic marina’s connection to the waters of Annapolis was also disappearing. “When you think about Annapolis, it has a lot of history, a lot of longtime residents. And these residents think about Annapolis as it is now. I love Annapolis. I love its connection to the water. But I think about buildings. And this marina, this property is past its life span.”

At left: “It has to be rebuilt in every aspect. It is past its life span. This is within the city that I love. This project is not about making money; it’s about the next 100 years, creating architecture and maritime history for our city and Spa Creek.
This page: Storm water runoff is unchecked with zero storm water collection or treatment filtering in place. The outdated system, lack of modern marina systems, and improper storage containments lead to conditions of industrial waste and pollutants running into Spa Creek.
In the first year, Anderson’s team removed 46 tractor trailer loads of rubbish, 19 derelict boats tied in place with no owners, and 17 contaminant sites, which harbored harmful solvents, tainted gas and hazardous materials.
He notes that “Sarles for 102 years has been scraping, grinding, sanding old boats with lead copper and fouling paints. Every time it rained it ended up right in Spa Creek.” Annapolis receives 44 inches of rain a year, he calculated. “For every inch of rain, the entire site generates approximately 54,000 gallons of storm water runoff. Do the math. That’s close to 2.4 million gallons of rainwater a year.” As an entrepreneur, yachtsman and Annapolitan, he knew he had to fix it. He purchased and joined the two properties in the summer of 2012 and since then has been hard at work replacing failing structures and restoring the shoreline. On the table before the City of Annapolis is his grand vision—a proposal to build in its place an environmentally conscious “Maritime Village” composed of a marina, 11 residences, including a 46,000-footmaritime center composed of several maritime buildings. Once approval is granted, a state-ofthe-art marina will be integrated with residences, offices and a new working boatyard sensitive to Eastport’s folksy charm and natural beauty, with gardens, green spaces and a welcoming pathway along the waters’ edge. There is controversy surrounding the project. There are those concerned the project will change the old-time feeling of Spa Creek and introduce more traffic, people and commerce. “I do realize that change is often difficult to see unfold, in particular when you’ve been used to a certain condition for so long.… I do believe that once everything is built, done and operational, an overwhelming majority will see this project for truly what it is, a benefit to the community.” He is aware of what he describes as “the small but persistent voices” who oppose change. “You cannot be an entrepreneur and be deterred by the naysayer and those with limited vision and limited thoughts. You have to keep going and listen to your internal thinking.” Anderson says his goal is not to just build a village but to take the opportunity to improve Spa Creek’s marinas and restore its shoreline, to create a legacy for the generations to come. He is somewhat of a paradox, both developer and eco-conceptualist, able to envision an environmentally progressive maritime environment integrated with residences, maritime office space and marina boatyard. That may make some uncomfortable. “Entrepreneurs constantly have vision, constantly adjust their vision often times by instinct and not always measured on a spread sheet or scale. They have an instinct to believe and see, to make adjustments that are not tied to prevailing thoughts or the way things have been done in the past,” he says. He elaborates on a possible future. The old marina could accommodate 100 boats, the new one 70. He removed 46 tractor trailer loads of rubbish, 19 derelict boats tied in place with no owners, and 17 contaminant sites harboring harmful solvents, tainted gas and hazardous materials. “Every time both marinas had to deal with contaminates, they placed them in a barrel, drum or bucket and left it on-site … these are all a ticking time bomb for a major environmental catastrophe.” The ambitious project does not daunt Anderson. His passions for boating, building and the water have ignited. There is no stopping now. “I think about the city of Annapolis and I think about its grandeur in so many ways … it has history, charm, the Naval Academy, State House. It has all of these things but more than anything it has a connection to the water. I have over 30 years of building experience. I truly understand volume and mass. I have an affinity for nice things. I think about embracing that and strengthening what is wonderful about Annapolis—its connections to the water for the next generation. It is exhausting to walk through the building site. Cavernous bays are littered with old doors, fallen beams and shattered windows. When shut inside the original boathouse, one cannot help but think of a film noir—you’re trapped in time as a building perpetually caves in, with room after room of despair. In the shadows a gigantic rusting winch looms, and looks almost otherworldly. This is Anderson’s real goal: To bring two worlds together in a new village that respects the past enough to embrace and build upon it.

The Right Fluff BY KYMBERLY TAYLOR | PHOTOGRAPHY BY JENNIFER KOLOSKY EASTMAN Chickens are humble, lacking the grace of the swan, the subtlety of the pheasant. To make matters worse, chickens are associated with hysteria and even cowardly behavior. Tara Jane Grier, however, sees things quite differently, as most entrepreneurs do. When gazing upon her first two Rhode Island Reds in 2014, she was blinded by their charm, their beauty and, yes, their fluffy layers. Two years and eighteen chickens later, her feathered friends adorn Fluffy Layers, her chic line of aprons and apparel based in Millersville and sold online at Homestead Gardens and other retail outlets across Maryland, the country and Canada. Her sturdy Egg Collecting Aprons are composed of fine fabric. Printed with hand-drawn whimsical chickens, flowers and farm animals, the patterns transcend the clichéd “country” styles permeating much of America. Tara is able to sense the complexity in a chicken’s plumage, the pied beauty of a breast. Her chickens do not just look cute and lay eggs—they are clucking works of genius. Yet her fascination with form is not surprising. She has a closet full of Italian shoes, fur coats, unusual jewelry, vintage finds and specialty high-fashion pieces including the Sherri Hill gown she wears on the current cover of Looking Good Magazine. “I like designer clothes, traveling and great food, but I also like to get down and dirty! From whitewater rafting to camping, I really like it all. I’m

Obsession often fuels invention. “I have always been obsessed with farm animals since I was little … I did not grow up on a farm, but if I had I would have been the kid who was Queen of 4-H, brushing my chickens and painting their toes. But if I did my mom would have had a heart attack,” reflects Tara Grier.
a strange mix of a person, but most people are. I wanted to bring that to life with my company. Poultry products don’t have to be boring and beige—they can be loud, and trendy and fun. The best things in life don’t fit into a box—there is so much genius in being authentic.” The ability to set goals and work at lightning speed are facets of her “strange mix.” The stylish tomboy sprang into action the moment when she and her husband Chris Grier, head football coach at Sherwood High School, moved to a home with 3 acres in 2014 along with Colton, aged 2 and Cash, still an infant. “I set up my chickens in their hutch before I bought furniture for my new house,” she recalls. Then, a country fair in Frederick changed her life. She observed a crafter making an apron with rooster fabric. “A lightning bolt went off in my head that night and I thought, “I am going to create an apron line.” Wasting no time, she hired a young fabric designer and Parsons School of Design graduate in New York, Annie Lim. Together they worked weeknights drawing whimsical hens, roosters and flowers. Tara sent her first email to a factory in China on October 2, 2015, and had her first working sample in midNovember to show to her retail partners. “Then we ordered some inventory,” she says, and Fluffy Layers took flight. She realized her capabilities quickly and had a breakthrough early on. “What helped us grow financially was the private label collection we did for Chip and Joanna Gaines, hosts of the popular HGTV series Fixer Upper.” Also, she is currently developing a private label collection for Tractor Supply, a substantial chain of farm and feed stores that will launch in March 2017. Her clothing line includes “mommy and me” aprons, full and half body aprons and aprons with egg pockets sometimes bordered by whimsical ruffles. In 2016 the line has expanded to include tote bags, dishtowels and oven mitts, with many more serviceable creations in development. Tara, it seems, has been preparing her entire life for this venture. After graduating from West Virginia University with a degree in Textiles, Apparel and Merchandising, she worked in wholesale for two large Manhattan-based handbag companies Whiting & Davis and Tri-Coastal Design. Yet, Fluffy Layers, as exciting as it is, has a price. Besides being a mom, she heads the marketing division of a national retirement planning firm, a demanding job necessary to help pay the family’s mortgage. She occasionally works 15-hour days, weeknights and weekends.
22 L O O K I N G G O O D M A G A Z I N E . C O M
Fueling her endeavor is the quest for financial independence. “It’s not that I want material things. I want to buy my freedom. I don’t want to have to work in an office like a drone every day and be told what to do. I want the freedom to control my time, run my own life, but to do so and have my own company means I must give up some freedoms,” she says.
“It’s not that I want material things. I want to buy my freedom. I don’t want to have to work in an office like a drone every day and be told what to do …” Tara Jane Grier
Tara is a mixture of beauty, grit and creativity, an ironclad blend of “the right stuff.” Today, her aprons are flying off the shelves yet she has higher goals: “I want to be the Vera Bradley for the American farm girl. I want people to crave our patterns. I know there is a space for us.” It is this kind of primal energy that will make this young company soar. LG

TRANSCEND By Carol Sorgen Like many of us, Cameron and Debbie Ailiff lead a stressful life. The couple, who live in Davisonville, have five children, own their own business and “Cam” also teaches and coaches high school. “We have a lot going on,” says Cam. “My mind was always racing.” The couple was searching for a calm in their busy lives. Cam had tried exercise, changing his diet, taking vitamin supplements, all in an attempt to ease his general anxiety. Nothing did the trick. Until, that is, he came across Transcendental Meditation (TM). “I didn’t know what to expect,” says Cam. “I thought it was a quasi-religious movement. But it’s not at all. It’s simply something one practices.” The TM technique was founded by the late Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and based on the ancient Vedic tradition of India. He brought the technique to the United States in the 1960s. Today, it is easily learned from a trained instructor and is practiced sitting comfortably in a chair with the eyes closed for 15 to 20 minutes twice a day. During the TM practice, one repeats a single word or a mantra; the active mind settles down naturally to a state where it is silent yet fully alert, while at the same time the body gains a state of rest and relaxation. Among its many benefits, TM can reduce stress and burnout and improve focus, learning and resiliency, according to 380 peer-reviewed studies. Research is also investigating the beneficial effects of TM on heart disease, hypertension and stroke, and has shown significant reductions in high blood pressure, anxiety, depression, insomnia and other stress-related disorders. TM (and meditation in general) has become increasingly accepted not only in the lay community, but among medical practitioners as well. “More and more healthcare practitioners are realizing the potential value of … meditation, both for themselves and for their patients,” says Delia Chiaramonte, M.D., associate director O c t o b e r / N o v e m b e r 2 0 16
29
and director of education at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, Center for Integrative Medicine. Paul Roochnik, Ph.D., director of the Baltimore/Annapolis Transcendental Meditation Program, has been meditating for almost 44 years. “It gets rid of the stress and calms the mind,” he says. “It makes me feel as though I just got back from vacation—twice a day.” TM is but one kind of meditation. While concentration and mindfulness are central to every form of meditation, different styles have different objects of focus, ranging from breath to sound, visualization, movement, standing and walking. They all have impressive results though. Indeed, Annapolis physician Fritz Sutter cites a study that appeared in Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging, in which a team of Harvard-affiliated researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital found that meditation actually produces measurable changes in the brain. There is no one right form of meditation. For Chiaramonte, the most beneficial kind of meditation is the one that you actually do on a regular basis, no matter the style. “Some people respond better to sitting in silent meditation while others do better with a more active form of meditation such as walking meditation or a moving meditative practice such as Tai Chi or Qi Gong,” she says. While TM is taught by trained instructors, other forms of meditation can be learned in a class, or even through books, videos or apps (try the app Headspace or the free podcasts by Tara Brach, of the Insight Meditation Community in Washington, DC).
Yoga, which has a long tradition dating back more than 4,000 years, can bring transcendence and calm to busy lives as well. In the last 20 years it has flourished in the Unites States, with approximately 21 million adults now practicing. In addition to its mental benefits, yoga has also been shown to offer numerous health benefits, including better sleep, decrease in blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol levels, reduction in chronic pain and improved breathing. “The physicality combined with the spirituality of the experience is amazing,” Debbie Ailiff says of the classes she takes at Evolutions, a full-service health, fitness and wellness studio in Annapolis, adding that she’s never felt better in her life. “I’m physically stronger, my lower back issues have cleared up and my balance and posture are much improved.” “Yoga is a very holistic, comprehensive practice," according to registered yoga therapist Pam Blum, Evolutions’ program director. “People who take yoga are looking for more than just a physical workout,” she says. “They’re looking for a practice that they can take off the mat and out into the world.” “Many students come to yoga class for a time to be still and present,” adds Severna Park YogaWorks instructor Jen Hoenshied. “Others come to work on a particular pose or just overall flexibility and body movement. They all walk away more at peace.” World peace is certainly elusive. However, the wise teach us that inner peace is not. Why not try to access your own peace? It is there waiting. Or at least meditate on the possibility. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who died in 2005, believed that meditation is itself a powerful action and that all true change comes from within. LG
It didn’t take long for Cam Ailiff to see the results of his TM practice, but he became convinced of its effects when his wife and a colleague at work commented on his newfound sense of calm.
RESOURCES
In fact, Debbie, who has been practicing yoga for the past six years, was so impressed that she too took the four-day TM training class, and now the two get up before dawn every morning and meditate together. “We’re relaxed, joyful and healthy!” say the couple, who have also become vegans in an effort to live a “cleaner” lifestyle.

Massage Table Farm to
By Mia Cranford Photography courtesy of The Inn at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club
Farm-to-table is today’s hippest craze. Insert “spa” into the equation and experience a trio of good things simultaneously. I found this to be true when visiting The Inn at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club. The setting is rustic chic. You may browse through a quaint marketplace where you can grab a made-from-scratch breakfast or lunch before making your way to the spa that uses natural ingredients for treatments such as a Wild Lime Scalp Massage or Tuscan Garden treatment using the likes of Atlas cedar, Italian bergamot and Valencia orange clementines.

When my friend Susan and I arrived, there were no airs of pretentiousness that can sometimes make you nervous and uncomfortable. Denise Haddaway, the spa manager, greeted us. Chesapeake Bay Beach Club stole her from a high-end spa in St. Michaels and she is a gem. The changing rooms are finished again in the rustic chic with concrete floors and warm bronze tones. The relaxation room though, is the spa’s crown jewel. Whenever I schedule a spa day with my girlfriends, I always ask about it. This is the room where you gather in between your appointments and have the girlfriend time that makes a spa day fun. It is a space to reflect on your treatment and get the true relaxation that comes afterwards. At the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club Spa we found beautifully appointed seating areas. If you come with a large group this is the perfect space to sit together and order a bottle of wine, champagne or lunch. The relaxation room also has a patio with French doors that open out to tables and umbrellas. During the warmer months you can lounge outside and relax until you are called for your treatment. There is fruit infused water to keep you hydrated. For my treatment, I chose the Hot Stone Massage, which costs approximate $180. It lasts 80 minutes and is worth every penny. The hot soothing rocks were expertly massaged by Anna to take away every 34 L O O K I N G G O O D M A G A Z I N E . C O M
muscle ache and pain imaginable. Because I am a runner, she massaged the bottom of my feet for an unbelievable Zen-like experience. Susan opted for the Wrinkle Repair Facial, which costs approximately $130. She used the word “serenity” to describe her experience and was thrilled with the spa’s line of natural products. Susan has had many facials but remarked that her technician, Jan, added touches such as a scalp, neck, shoulder and back massage, that made this facial especially relaxing. We both opted for a pedicure and I can honestly say three weeks later it still looks like the first day. If you don’t have much time and need a quick spa fix or are in search of a place to hide away for the night or weekend, cross the bridge and take a short scenic drive to The Inn. I have lived in Annapolis and on the Shore for most of my life. The Inn does something much needed in our area by artfully combing old Eastern Shore hospitality and a new modern Eastern Shore luxury.

STRONGER Fitness expert Dale Barr reflects on turning 40

FATHERHOOD & FITNESS Beer belly, hair loss, gray hair, wrinkles and stress all forming a “dad bod” is what I had heard would start to occur with a man once he turned 40. I have experienced the milestones of job changes, new cities, marriage, buying our first home and having kids. What hasn’t happened is the terrible aging process I’d seen and heard about while growing up. Why hasn’t 40 beaten me up like some others? My approach to aging is nothing revolutionary—I sleep well, eat well, lift weights and move a lot. This wasn’t always the case. When I was in my late 20s my wife worked in the bar industry in Chicago, which meant a lot of access to baseball and football games, concerts, late night burritos and a lot of free booze. Believe me, it was a lot of fun. But one cannot continually make the poor decisions of a 20-year-old and not pay the price in some way. The booze, the burritos and the late nights will win eventually. Luckily, we saw the writing on the wall, and in 2005 we both quit our jobs and started doing things we enjoyed. The job change was just the tip of the iceberg. It led to us eating better, sleeping more and getting back into an exercise routine. At the time, my exercise routine was all about endurance. I trained 15–20 hours a week for events like the Half Ironman and marathon. Eighty percent of my training time was spent doing endurance activities like running, swimming or biking and only 20 percent strength training. I was skinny, I weighed about 160 pounds, carrying a body fat around 13 percent, and though I could run, bike and swim all day, I couldn’t lift more than my bodyweight in any lift. I felt good, but I was weak. As we go through our 30s we start to lose muscle and our metabolism slows down. Marriage, kids and work start to claw into that time spent training. I had to make another change. I needed to be as efficient as possible with my training time. I came up with Train Smarter, my training philosophy on how to get the most out of your gym time. I now train only 4–5 hours a week. That is how I’ve been able to give the big 4 0 the big double birds! As I write this, I’m a week past my 40th birthday. My diet is pretty much the same as when I was 30, which was and is pretty clean, although, as I mentioned earlier, I don’t or, more accurately, can’t drink alcohol like I once did. This is both because I can’t handle it anymore and because
my two young boys don’t seem to care if I’m hungover or not; they’re ready to play at 6 or 7 a.m. either way! I currently weigh 177 pounds and my body fat is down closer to 10 percent. Ninety percent of my training time is spent on strength training and 10 percent doing some kind of conditioning. In 10 years I’ve put on weight like a lot of people going through their 30s, only I’ve gained 20 pounds of muscle while losing 3 pounds of fat! How? Remember the body fat change from 13 to 10 percent that went with the weight gain? That equates to an extra 20 pounds of muscle that is burning anywhere from 80–500 additional calories PER DAY. Focusing my training time on lifting has given me those extra hours to be a dad, husband and business owner … only with that extra muscle I can now deadlift 2.5 times my bodyweight at 445 pounds. I can squat 2 times my bodyweight at 375 pounds and bench press just shy of 1.5 times my bodyweight at 255 pounds. I tell you these numbers not to brag, but to illustrate how changing the mindset from burning calories by doing repetitive cardio to getting stronger through lifting weights can have a huge and lasting effect. This 40-year-old version of myself is far stronger than the 30-year-old me both physically and mentally, while being leaner and having better mobility.
Dale Barr with his sons Frankie and Davis
That strength carries over to each of the other phases of life. I’m far more patient, I have much more energy, and I can recover from long work and travel days better. The gym has become the place where I get “me” time. It’s just me and the weights. No other distractions, kids, wife or phone calls for that hour. This will all be there when I’m done. It’s my form of meditation.
Now I’m in a position to enjoy sports and activities with my boys as they grow up. Being able to travel, hike, boat and do whatever my kids are into at various points in their life is enough motivation to keep me on this path of eating clean, sleeping and training smarter. LG

JOY
Thanksgiving with Dr. Maria Scott By Mary Ann Treger Photography by Heather Crowder When it comes to preparing a joyful Thanksgiving dinner, there are hosts who go by the book and then there are hosts, such as Maria Scott, who tinker with tradition, seamlessly blending her Italian heritage with traditional Thanksgiving fare. On Scott’s holiday table it isn’t unusual for a steaming bowl of gnocchi smothered in red Maria and Matthew Scott, tomato sauce to rest next to a sweet Caesar the family dog potato soufflé. Or a plateful of spicy meatballs adjacent to a succulent sage and rosemary infused turkey. With such a culinary feast, you might be fooled into thinking Maria Scott is a professional chef. But that’s not the case. Maria Scott is, in fact, a worldclass eye surgeon. Ranked in the top five percent of cataract surgeons in the United States, she is the founder and medical director of Chesapeake Eye Care and Laser Center in Annapolis. Maria and her husband Matt, an anesthesiologist, have two children and reside in a luxurious waterfront home with breathtaking views of the United States Naval Academy. Growing up Italian style (both of Maria’s parents are rooted in the Abruzzo region of Italy), holidays were a time for the family to enjoy all their favorite dishes. “We would prep for days and then sit around the table eating, talking and laughing for hours. To this day, I don’t like to rush through holiday dinners,” says Maria. “It is truly a marathon.” Blending family, friends, fine food and wines is the Scotts’ specialty. Thanksgiving begins in the early afternoon when friends and family drift in, gathering around the kitchen island while Maria and her mom, Esther Cirone, put the final touches on a meal that has been in the works for weeks. 38 L O O K I N G G O O D M A G A Z I N E . C O M
Guests sip and swirl fine wines while snacking on imported cheeses, olives and paté before heading into the formal dining room, anticipating the promise of the long dinner ahead. If appearances told the whole story, the Scotts’ elegant table setting with its crisp white tablecloth, gold-trimmed china and massive crystal chandelier hints of a formal dinner. Instead, the atmosphere is as relaxed and inviting as a La-Z-Boy recliner. Dinner begins with prosciutto and melon followed by Italian wedding soup, a pasta course and, of course, turkey and all the fixings. This year’s pasta dish is gnocchi in red sauce. “As a child I loved to cook with my mom and dad,” Maria recalls. “When we made the gnocchi the weekend before, my mom would put all of the ingredients together, measuring them in the palm of her hand. My dad would roll the dough and then throw it to me. I would try to cut the pieces as precisely and evenly as possible.” Today, Maria uses pre-made gnocchi to reduce some of the work and, if in a time crunch, buys pre-made mashed potatoes and “doctors them up” with additional ingredients. “One year I made everything from scratch, including my own breadcrumbs for stuffing. It was daunting. Today there are some things I cheat on and some things others do better.” Thanksgiving meal preparation requires teamwork. Matt does most of the grocery shopping and takes care of wine and beverages. Esther drives from Philadelphia a week in advance to help prepare the meal. Family and friends often pitch in too. “Sometimes my aunt buys Italian cookies from Termini’s in South Philly or my cousin makes

the pies,” says Maria. “My brother, Tony, and sister-in-law, Marie, often bring the antipasto. My sister Adele sometimes comes the day before to help. When my sister, mom and I are together in the kitchen it is like a factory. Things get done quickly. At least it seems that way because we are having so much fun.” Some family traditions are hardly “gourmet” by Martha Stewart standards but Maria always accommodates family favorites. “My husband, son and brother love canned jellied cranberry sauce from Ocean Spray. I always serve that as well as the traditional variety.” No one watches the clock on Thanksgiving; the meal goes on for hours. “Afterwards, most of us can’t move. We settle into the

sofas, snuggle up and watch a movie where at least half of us doze off in a tryptophan slumber,” adds Maria. Maria loves having a day that is dedicated to joy and gratitude. “I feel so fortunate to be born in this country, to have the parents, husband and children that I have, to have a career I love, restoring patients’ sight, and to work with the people I do. I am so very thankful.” While the Thanksgiving feast is very special to the Scotts, the one thing they are most thankful for is the fact that their children fly home from college for the holiday and the entire family is together once again. LG
In true Italian style, the celebration begins unofficially in early afternoon. Antipasto includes Italian delicacies such as pepperoni, salami, olives, cheeses and paté.

Under the WEDDING
Big Top!
by sarah hagerty photography by hamilton photography
Katherine Leigh Greenberg Marries Aaron Baker Hockel This was a local wedding in every way. The happy couple are both graduates of the University of Maryland and their extended families live nearby. Many sisters and sister-in-laws even bought their wedding dresses at the same bridal shop. The wedding party travelled by trolley to and from the ceremony at St. Anne’s, and the reception took place in the bride’s backyard. In this all-over-themap society, it was a nice change of pace. The sitdown dinner for 275 kicked off with a wild summer field 42 L O O K I N G G O O D M A G A Z I N E . C O M
salad then wedding guests feasted on filet mignon, roasted heirloom tomato persillade, scalloped potatoes, as well as warm bundles of haricots verts with leek ribbon. It was all finished off with both lemon cake and almond cake with Italian buttercream icing. The large dance floor gave ample calorie burning options, however, even though the couple had prepared by getting in shape together on the Eastern Shore at Workout Like a Girl in Stevensville.
Finally, the bride (a first grade teacher with AACPS) and the groom (vice president of a marketing firm in Glen Burnie) had opted for a once-in-a-lifetime trip rather than a sit-on-the-sand honeymoon experience. This adventurous duo traveled to South America including a stop at the magical Machu Picchu. LG

JUST MARRIED!

Both the bride and the groom are active duty Army, but traded in uniforms for a gown from David’s Bridal and a suit from Men’s Wearhouse. The purchases paid off in their shared favorite moment when they first saw each other at the ceremony. They also wanted a venue that would serve for both the ceremony and the reception.
It was a ceremony at the Naval Academy Chapel in dress whites and a Vera Wang gown, followed by a reception at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club. Wedding planner Amanda McCabe, of Engaging Affairs, didn’t need pixie dust to make this day magical.
The Naval Academy Chapel was a busy place this summer! But why not? It’s a legendary location. The groom, now with the government, is a grad, while the bride provides admirable service of her own as a nurse at the University of Maryland’s Shock Trauma Center.
The dinner menu included filet mignon and crab cakes as well as grilled rockfish with crabmeat—more local magic. Amie Decker Beauty in Savage fashioned hair and makeup; Edge Floral Event Designers in Gaithersburg did the flowers; Fluffy Thoughts Cakes, in McLean, Virginia, took care of the sweet treat; Marquise Band provided music; Concours Vintage Limousine in Centreville supplied the Rolls Royce, and Reflexion Videography from Baltimore recorded all the fun.
Emily’s gown came from Betsy Robinson’s Bridal Collection in Baltimore (the groom shopped at Men’s Wearhouse), and the flowers were provided by My Flower Box Events in Glen Burnie. The reception was held at the Annapolis Waterfront Hotel where the menu was a hit with the 175 guests: a choice of filet or chicken picatta with crab imperial stuffed shrimp, or salmon with a Caribbean salsa. Finally, the cake from Graul’s Market pleased everyone. “They are still talking about the food,” Emily enthuses. All the excitement was capped off by an exotic trip to Thailand and Bali. Beautiful!
Walden Country Club in Crofton was the perfect fit, especially with the help of Food and Beverage Director Ilene Murphy. She arranged hors d’oeuvres of sweet and sour meatballs and mozzarella sticks, followed by a dinner of chicken Marsala or steak with garlic potatoes and green beans. A tower of cupcakes served as the wedding cake. The bride was glad with the choice of a small cupcake when her groom did a pretty good job of smearing her face with icing. “I still don’t forgive him, but I got him pretty good in return.” Army strong, indeed!
CALL FOR ENTRIES
The couple (she’s a staff attorney for the Pennsylvania Superior Court and he’s co-founder of a travel risk management startup) then took a much-needed breather at the super lux Ritz-Carlton Reserve at Dorado Beach in Puerto Rico before returning to their very busy lives.
