A Story Told in Three Acts

#LIKA2025

Welcome to the story of us.

A love unfolding in three acts — welcoming, witnessing, and feasting.
Over one weekend, we invite you to step inside a world stitched together by memory, meaning, and magic. Every glance, every detail, every shared laugh is part of the narrative — and now, it belongs to you, too.

Love is more than a feeling. It’s an experience. A devotion. A mystery revealed in time.

We met on the dance floor — which is hilarious if you know us — and somehow, from the very first song, something just clicked.

It wasn’t just chemistry. It was comfort. From the beginning, we felt free to be our full, unfiltered selves — awkward dance moves and all — and we were met with nothing but love and laughter in return.

What brought us together was honesty. What kept us together was care — the kind of care that goes deep. The kind where you start to love what the other person loves, even when it makes no sense to you. The kind that makes their dreams feel like your own.

If we had to define our love now? It’s quantum entanglement. Not just a feeling, but a force. An energy. A connection that stretches across space and time, no matter where we are.

It’s real. For real.

"To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides."

Travel & Accommodation

Getting There

If you’re flying in, the closest airport is Thurgood Marshall BWI (Baltimore/Washington International Airport) — about 25–30 minutes from both Owings Mills and downtown Baltimore. Uber and Lyft are both easy to use in the area.

We’ve reserved a room block at the Marriott Owings Mills Metro Centre — which also happens to be our reception venue.
📍 10101 Grand Central Ave, Owings Mills, MD 21117

Staying Near the Venue

Want to stay close to the action? Owings Mills is where the reception takes place and where many of our guests will be based. It’s quiet, comfortable, and ideal if you’re here to celebrate, relax, and recharge.

There’s not much in the way of nightlife or attractions, so we recommend having a car if you’re staying in this area — it’ll make getting around easy.

Staying in Baltimore

Want to turn the weekend into a little vacation? Baltimore City is full of culture, great food, and neighborhoods with real character. If you're planning to explore or make a full weekend of it, staying downtown might be more your style.

From harbor views to walkable streets, you’ll have plenty to do — and we’ve rounded up some great spots to help you choose.

While you’re in town…
Check out our handpicked guide to Baltimore’s best bites, sights, and hidden gems. Whether you’re here for an extra day or the whole weekend, we’ve got you covered!

From both of us — thank you.
We know many of you are traveling from near and far to be with us, and it truly means the world. We can’t wait to celebrate this unforgettable weekend with you!

Love, Linamarie & Onyekachi
