Congratulations! Get Up & Go! Facebook Photo Contest

Weddings, love and passion are three things that go together like peanut butter, jelly and fresh bread. Now imagine marrying your wedding to a great destination vacation. That was the elixir for Shrewsbury Commons’ resident Claire Jeanfreau, who shared stunning wedding photos from her recent summer getaway.


That’s right, Claire and “this handsome man” (husband Trevor Miller) travelled south to our nation’s capital for a whirlwind wedding and subsequent honeymoon in Ocean City, Maryland. Claire, making her first trip to the Maryland shore, reported having an “awesome honeymoon and vacation.”

In Claire’s own words: “It was absolutely perfect, but we also loved coming back to Shrewsbury Commons.”

Cool Get Up & Go! fact: The happy couple were married at the Washington D.C. Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), which was the church’s first temple built east of the Mississippi River since 1846. The world’s tallest Mormon temple with a 288-foot-tall spire (one of six spires), the stunning place of worship is encased in white Alabama marble and sits on a 57-acre wooded hill in Kensington, Maryland, just north of Washington, D.C. 


The temple’s annual Festival of Lights in December (December 2nd to January 1st) is a major tourism attraction, offering guests an awe-inspiring view of millions of lights placed around the temple grounds as well as live choir performances and nightly performances from regional artists and musicians.
