Where did you go? My now husband and I started dating after a long conversation about our shared love of history, specifically WWII history. Yes, we are history nerds. Sean and I have always shared a love of history and many of our first dates involved trips to the American History Museum or the WWII section of the Air and Space Museum (it's lucky for us we live in Washington, DC and have lots of free museums).

After a year of dating we decided to have a history-themed wedding. We got married in August in Washington, DC at the WWI memorial with a 1940s-themed reception. We both wanted a history-focused wedding. We decided to delay our honeymoon so that it overlapped with the anniversary of the D-Day landing. We ended up flying to Europe in May 2010, seven months after our wedding.

Gorgeous gardens, dark gothic formality, and amazingly dressed guests is a recipe for one stunning wedding starring one stunning couple. With little historical Victorian touches, glammed-up skeleton motifs, and an awesomely fitting reception venue, you might just fall in love with the sheer gothic sophistication of it all.
