A Side of Romance
| Categories: Alumni Celebrations
Gabby and Jordan met through mutual friends in Greek life—Gabby was an Alpha Xi Delta and Jordan was a Delta Chi. Brittain wasn’t on the couple’s radar as a wedding location until Gabby’s father, Glenn Rosen, IM 85, suggested the unique space. With Jordan’s love of all things Tech and Gabby being a fourth-generation Yellow Jacket, Brittain was the perfect common ground for the two to tie the knot.A bride and groom in Brittain
“We loved the architecture and the history of east campus,” Gabby says. “But then the question became, How do we do it? No one else had held a wedding in Brittain before.”
After they worked with two facility managers to rent the space and finalize details, invitations were sent out to guests with “Brittain Dining Hall” listed as the location. “We definitely got a few funny looks from people who didn’t go to Tech and before they showed up. I had to pull up a picture of Brittain a couple times to explain it.”
On the day of the wedding, they let Brittain’s architecture speak for itself with simple decorations and a chuppah below the soaring ceiling.
“We kept it simplistic to speak to the beauty of the building,” Gabby says.
