Distance was no barrier
May 27, 2017.
Victoria Lynne Brick, 35, was born in Towson. She is the CEO of Brick Bodies. She lives in Timonium. Her parents, Lynne and Victor Brick, live in Miami.
Evan Taylor Zupancic, 35, was born in Auburn, Calif. He is the chief operating officer of Stafford Hills Club. He lives in Portland, Ore. His parents, Jim and Marla Zupancic, also live in Portland.
The two met in August 2014 at a fitness leadership conference in Chapel Hill, N.C.
Vicki was late for a session at the University of North Carolina’s Kenan-Flagler Business School, and the sound of the door swinging open caught Evan’s attention. He was immediately struck by Vicki’s confidence, beauty and tardiness. She made her entrance. The two didn’t get a chance to talk until later that night at a happy hour.
They eventually struck up a “lovely conversation,” which involved a little playful banter about which coast was better and the differences between Under Armour and Nike.
“We both kind of agreed to disagree,” Vicki said with a laugh. “And we respected each other’s beliefs.”
From there, the two started visiting one another in their respective cities. Vicki was impressed with Evan’s kind-hearted nature and ability to handle new situations — including staying cool while meeting her family.
“He just took it in stride,” she said. “He was witty. He could laugh. He could banter with the family.
Evan proposed to Vicki during a trip to New York on Dec. 22, 2015.
Evan rented out the entire ice rink at Rockefeller Center to pop the big question. And even unseasonably warm weather — it was about 65 degrees that day — couldn’t stop the perfect moment.
Evan also arranged for her family to be at a nearby restaurant so they could celebrate together.
Two hundred and sixty guests attended the ceremony at Church of the Nativity in Timonium and reception at Four Seasons Hotel Baltimore. The wedding was planned and designed by Stephanie Bradshaw.
Flowers and Fancies provided the flowers. The colors of the wedding were hues of light purples, white, silver and pops of bling.
Vicki wore a strapless Stella dress by Sottero and Midgley from Bridal Exclusives in Oregon. Bridesmaids wore various purple ombre dresses from Wtoo by Watters.
Evan wore a custom tuxedo with a white dinner jacket by Joseph Abboud through Men’s Wearhouse. Groomsmen wore black tuxedos by Vera Wang. The wedding was catered by Four Seasons Hotel Baltimore.
The couple served a five-layer cake — red velvet, cannoli, Amaretto raspberry and Smith Island cake — from SugarBakers Cakes. The Four Season provided assorted desserts, including tiramisu, French macarons and Baltimore custard.
The couple gave out welcome bags to guests featuring the couple’s favorite treats: Natty Boh and a Fresh Squeezed IPA. Sunglasses were handed out to all the guests during the reception.
The dance floor was illuminated by 41 custom crystal chandeliers from Revolution Event Design & Production.
