Adrielle + Eric’s Pratt Place Inn and Barn Wedding

Adrielle Churchhill

Adrielle and Eric became fast friends while working on Capitol Hill over silly movie quotes and goofing around. They always intended to help one another succeed and knew that they could always rely on one another. “Friendship became more as we found ourselves both working in the Pentagon, and we quickly realized we were each other’s ‘person,’ true love, and very best friend.”

Last year, Eric brought Adrielle to their favorite place, The Library of Congress, to pop the question. He led her to the Reading Room where their photographer, Mallory Jeffers, was hiding who had flown all the way from Arkansas to capture the proposal. Eric placed a Croatian coin from their most recent vacation on her palm while he quoted their favorite movie, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and got down on one knee. Adrielle said yes, their families cheered as they watch from above.

“COVID-19 has made weddings more emotional for brides than they could ever imagine, but Eric and I did not want to postpone. There was a lot of adaptation involved.”

Adrielle and Eric got married at the Place Inn and Barn in Fayetteville, Arkansas on June 6, 2020. They had a very carefully placed socially distanced ceremony and reception. They have different “zones” and lodging arrangements for different groups of people. The wedding was a success and the two are happily married back in Washington D.C. 

Congrats, you two!
