Michael and Kaitlynn's wedding at Great Marsh Estate was a beautiful blend of timeless romance and personal touches. After matching on Bumble in October 2021, the couple quickly felt as though they had known each other for years. Their friendship blossomed into a lasting love story, culminating in a heartfelt proposal in February 2025.


Surrounded by their closest family and friends, Michael and Kaitlynn exchanged traditional vows during an elegant ceremony officiated by Kaitlynn's grandfather. Choosing to preserve the anticipation of seeing each other at the altar, the couple shared a meaningful first touch before the ceremony, creating a quiet moment together before the celebration began.


Their design vision featured a soft palette of pale blue, blush pink, butter yellow, and delicate pastel tones accented with touches of gold throughout the day. The ceremony and cocktail hour embraced a classic, refined aesthetic, while the reception incorporated playful elements such as a black-and-white checkered dance floor and sparkling disco balls that encouraged guests to celebrate well into the evening. From romantic string music and heartfelt speeches to their first dance beneath the glow of the reception lights, every detail reflected Michael and Kaitlynn's joyful love story and the beginning of their next chapter together.
