Our Wedding

Just like every great love story, this relationship started off as an adventure. Kevin and Kaitlin had attended middle school and high school together, but never spoke a word to each other. They met again in summer class at Suffolk Community College when they both signed up for the same History class. Kevin did everything in his power to get Kaitlin to notice him, but Kaitlin was too shy to realize. However, their love story started off with a Facebook message that Kaitlin sent to Kevin, “Hey Kevin I don't wanna seem like a creep but I realized you were in my history class ... I'm trying to study and I didn't get a chance to write down the review subjects for what's gunna be on the test tomro any chance you got it ?”. From there Kaitlin and Kevin began to text non stop until they agreed to hang out “just the two of them” on 07.19.2013. After a few hang outs, Kevin decided on 07.28.2013 that Kaitlin was the one for him and he asked her to be his girlfriend. The rest fell into place from there. It was love at first sight and the two knew they were destined to be together. A little over 4 years later Kaitlin and Kevin learned that they were pregnant with their first child, a daughter who they agreed from the start that if they ever had a little girl together they would name her Charlotte! A few months after learning they were pregnant Kevin decided to surprise Kaitlin with a trip to Walt Disney World... a trip that Kaitlin would soon find out that her life was about to change forever! On 03.01.2018 Kevin and Kaitlin arrived at Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom and paid a visit to Ariel’s Grotto. It was during this character interaction that Kevin got down on his knee and asked Kaitlin to become his wife! Kaitlin of course said yes! Due to a baby on the way Kevin and Kaitlin decided to get legally married on 04.22.2018 this way the growing little family could all share a last name. On 06.19.2018 Kevin and Kaitlin learned how powerful love really is when they welcomed their baby girl, Charlotte Jo into the world! On 07.28.2018 Kevin and Kaitlin celebrated their 5 year “dating anniversary”. Now the happy couple invites you to share in their “happily ever after” with them as they renew their vows and celebrate their love on 07.20.2019!
