I’ve met a few high school sweethearts, many college sweethearts, and online daters too many to count. But, Kaitlyn & Stefan are in another category entirely. They grew up together, neighbors and best friends, and dare I say grade school sweethearts? How sweet and calming and utterly unreal it must be to marry someone you’ve literally grown up with and well, that’s exactly the wonderful fact of Kaitlyn & Stefan’s love story. They’ve been de facto parts of one another’s families for years and it seems they’ve known that this is it for a very long time, but still…their wedding day was an extra-ordinary one that felt rather magical, totally joyful and like the answer to every question they ever asked. Perhaps the only thing missing was their pup Enzo, but even his absence couldn’t dull the loveliness of it all. I loved their personalized, traditional choices (white letterpress invites and a courtyard ceremony officiated by a friend) but adored their chicly unusual choices (deeply colored shoes & flowers & suits and of course the coolest venues in town.) And in the end I simply fell in love with Kaitlyn & Stefan too – they are irresistibly romantic, a love song made into flesh, and the kindest love birds you’ll ever meet.
