Our Story
We fell in love while discovering our mutual passion for the Redskins, live music, happy hours, cooking together, and onesie pajamas.
Nick popped the question in summer 2018 on top of Sugarloaf Mountain with friends and family close by to celebrate.
Then Amber relocated to start her PhD at UNC. The distance has been hard, but hey, absence makes the heart grow fonder!
In Fall 2018 we added a sweet, spunky kitty to our little family and she has us both wrapped around her tiny paw.
We can’t wait till Amber moves back to MD in summer 2020 and we get to promise our love and begin our forever!

Accommodations
Previous reservations have been canceled by the hotel. Please rebook using the links below. We have blocks of 10 rooms at two hotels (10 rooms at each hotel). Click the logos to book your room. Here’s what you need to know:
- The hotels are right next to each other.
- Both hotels offer complementary shuttles to and from Dulles International Airport. (Call the hotels for more information)
- The wedding venue is about 15 minutes away and we will be arranging for shuttles to and from the wedding for those who don’t want to drive.
- If you prefer a room with two queen beds, try Hampton Inn first. (While there are double queen rooms at Homewood Suites, they aren’t discounted as part of the room block!)
- Help us keep the room block by booking early!
Wedding Party
Groom's Side
Gregg
One year after Nick was the best man at Gregg’s wedding, it’s now Gregg’s turn to step up for Nick. As youngsters, Gregg and Nick used to rumble and tumble all the time. Gregg still wins but at least it’s on mats in a gym.
Edward
The middle Hurson brother, Edward is by far the most well behaved of the three!
Colm
Colm is one of Nick’s closest friends from childhood. These two are very competitive, and against Colm, the race to matrimony is the only race that Nick has ever won.
Jon
Jon and Nick have matured together into the world of adulthood—particularly where whiskey and video games are concerned.
Chris
Chris lived right up the street from Nick growing up. They would get into trouble together from long nights and longboards.
Derrick
One of Nick’s closest childhood friends, as kids they could be found splashing around in puddles or watching cartoons. They’re still happy together doing the same, but it requires crossing two time zones.
Dylan
Bonding over their passion for music, Dylan tries to drag Nick to every concert he attends.
Bride's Side
Alison
Amber and Alison are sisters and they’ve been best friends since they were kids. Except when one would wear the other’s clothes without asking.
Samantha
Amber and Sam have been friends for eight years – long before Amber and Nick started dating. Both marrying Hurson brothers, they have a special bond as friends and outlaws, in this family of mostly men.
Anika
Anika and Amber helped each other get through undergrad, as well as literally everything else since then. (Adulting is hard!)
Paige
When Paige started dating Michael, Amber was thrilled to get to know her. Now Amber can’t decide who she loves more. (Good thing she doesn’t have to choose!)
Michael
Amber and Michael were next door neighbors in high school and spent a lot of time together doing nothing, going on adventures, and (mostly) avoiding getting in trouble. Today, they still manage to find time to continue those pursuits.
Officiant
Aaron
Amber and Nick chose Amber’s cousin, Aaron, to officiate their wedding because he has been a role model to them both. Also, he’s entertaining and (we think) we can trust him to not purposefully embarrass us in front of all our friends and family.
