With that in mind, the couple will have a welcome party for out-of-town guests at Frank & Nick's West End Grille, following a smaller rehearsal dinner for the wedding party.
The ceremony will be at Our Lady of Good Counsel on Fort Avenue, officiated by Father John Williamson. The reception for "about 200" will be held at Tabrizi's.
They're not really going for a strong theme, except to make things as "Baltimore" as possible. Like the wedding transportation Jason's lined up -- a purple Ravens fan bus.
When it came to her dress, Faith says she broke a cardinal rule at a bridal shop in Bel Air.
"I tried on a Jim Hjelm dress that was really expensive," she says. " They added a sash by Pronovias and I loved all of it. But, I could not [spend the money]. My sister said, ':et's just go over to David's Bridal for fun.' I showed the woman there the picture and they had another dress that was discontinued that was just like it.'"
She describes it as a strapless ivory satin gown with a sweetheart neckline, drop-down V-back, trumpet skirt and no decorations,
So, she got it and went back to the bridal shop for the sash.
Faith also wanted to save money on flowers.
"I don't like flowers,' she says. "They cost a lot of money and then they die".
So, she's playing with a bouquet made with birch, holly, and baby's breath -- "more of an organic, rustic look rather than a floral bouquet."
"The centerpieces will be some sort of wreath. So, whoever ends up with it at the end of the night has a wreath for the season," she says, "The only flowers there will pots of red poinsettias, which I'll donate to the church, so they can decorate with them for the Christmas season."
While the colors will be the couple's favorites -- green and gold -- they will only be used as accents for the bridal party. Her matron-of-honor and four bridesmaids have been told they can wear any cocktail or tea length black dress they want.
The groomsmen will be in black tuxes with green cummerbunds or ties.
Faith has a history with wedding photographer Terry Pozniak of tPozPhotography.
"She was my first client ever on LivingSocial," she says. "I've watched her grow and she is an amazing photographer. She's awesome."
Food-wise, there will be a sit-down dinner featuring salmon or sea bass and chicken entree choices. Pastry chef Afaf Tabrizi -- wife of chef-owner Michael Tabrizi -- will be doing a small wedding cake for the couple and cupcakes for the guests. The cake toppers will be Natty Boh and the Utz Girl bobble-heads.
With Jason's musical bent, he's the one more involved in the tunes for the evening.
He is working with deejay Jacob Jensen from Absolute Entertainment on a playlist that will feature lots of music from the '80s and early '90s, like Huey Lewis & The News.
"We want 'The Wedding Singer' kind of music" says Faith. "We describe it as bad wedding music...It's really fun."
"The big thing is that a lot of our friends call us their favorite couple," Jason says. "We love to go out and paint the town. We really wanted it to be a big party."
The couple is planning a karaoke after-party upstairs at Delia Foley's.
"Or, I have a friend who plays in an '80s band, and we might have them play, but allow people to sing with them as well ," says Jason.
Faith says she won't be changing out of her gown for that.
"I'm going to rock that thing all night," she says.
The fun will continue the next day, as Faith and Jason Albert plan to head to the Ravens-Steelers game with a bunch of friends, even though they don't yet have tickets.
"We'll either be buying them or begging them for gifts," says Jason, with a laugh.
