Kaitlin and Kevin met on a dating app and went on their first date in Washington, DC. “We talked for hours over drinks. We were out so long, Kevin wound up getting a parking ticket at the metro. I thought that would end things on a sour note and there’d be no second date – but he quickly texted me that it had been totally worth it.”
Kevin proposed while the couple was out to dinner with friends. “Just before dessert, Kevin began retelling a humorous story from a date we had at the same restaurant over two years ago. On that date, Kevin was so enraptured by his after-dinner coffee that he didn’t see the check on the table. When I asked if he wanted to split it, he thought I was talking about the coffee and said, ‘No, order your own.’ At the conclusion of his story, he turned to me and said, ‘While I didn’t want to share my coffee with you then, I would love to share the rest of my life with you.’”
Forty-seven guests celebrated the couple’s September wedding, including a six-person wedding party. “Our flower girl Sylvie walked down with our ‘groomsdog’ Theodore and stole the show. For our personal thoughts, I read him my light-hearted but sincere sentiments, and he read a love poem that he wrote.”
Kaitlin and Kevin chose to have a Sunday brunch wedding. “We embraced the brunch theme through the menu with a chicken and waffles station and custom mimosas and had personalized ‘Sunday morning wedding newspapers’ which served as programs and a source of entertainment for guests.”
Face masks for the guests were handmade by Kevin’s mother in their wedding colors. Guests also received a “Spread Love, Not Germs” hand sanitizer upon arrival.
Kaitlin is a regulatory analyst and Kevin is a program manager. They currently reside in Reston, Virginia.
