Jill Carrie & Bryan Benenati | Wedding | Aug 6 2016

BRYAN & JILL are gettin’ hitched on the ice where they first met
…in battle!

Get excited for eats, drinks, hockey, skating (optional),
dancing (not optional), and many super fun time shenanigans.

We’d also hope you & your fam will stay longer & explore DC with us!
We have great local events, every day!

Travel safe, we’ll see you in August!

They Met Before They Met

The handshake is a time-honored hockey tradition, but not exactly the one that gets its picture taken. Goals and big saves, yes. A hearty hand hug when the game is over? Dude, no.

Perhaps that’s why it’s either a little magical or a lot weird that after a game between the AU Lady Eagles and the Rooftop Rebels, a fan caught the very moment AU’s coach reached out to shake the opposing #4’s hand. ‘Good game.’

A month later they would meet again (for realzies) at a hockey sendoff. When Jill missed the last metro home, she and Bryan shared an ‘accidental date,’ walking and talking across half of DC.

Forever Family =)

Hockey first brought them together. In the six years of coaching / commissioning / cheering / scorekeeping / playing that followed, they became quite a team.

On August 6th, Bryan and Jill will meet on the very ice where they were rivals for the first and last time, to replace two words meant for opponents, ‘good game,’ with two meant forever: ‘I do.’

…we won’t think it’s weird if there are photos this time.
