Italian Cultural Center Wedding | Vow Renewal | Caitlin & Dennis
The long journey with Caitlin and Dennis has come to an end- and it was a pretty epic one at that. On Friday, October 15, 2021, Caitlin and Dennis renewed their wedding vows that they previously said to each other last year in front of about 150 of their closest friends and family. And that was truly the difference, because last October they officially got married in her parent’s backyard, and only had parents & siblings present. But when you have 7 brothers and sisters (not including in-laws) between the two of them, either way it’s a rowdy party full of life. But this year’s vow renewal and Italian Cultural Center Wedding was so much fun to watch all the planning come together and finally happen.
This is actually our 3rd October that we spent with Caitlin & Dennis. The first was in Oct. 2019 for their autumn themed engagement session. We walked through nature together, and I heard all about their 10/10/20 wedding plans, and their Great Gatsby theme. Then a few months later, the world kind of came to a screeching halt. Caitlin and Dennis were both hopeful and optimistic about their Oct. 2020 wedding, but number restrictions were still in place in that time, and so they decided to legally marry in her parent’s (beautifully decorated) backyard. After that, they set their sights on Oct. 2021 as the magic solution, and it ended up working out! They were finally able to invite their friends and family to come and celebrate them and spend their 1 year-ish anniversary together partying like Daisy and Jay (Old Sport.) <<< Literary reference. Or Leonardo reference. Your choice.
In fact, we had even more to celebrate because they’re expecting their first child together in early 2022! So technically the 3 of them got to have a pretty great love-filled evening. Caitlin and Dennis have become such dear friends of mine after all the ups and downs of the past 3 years, and I wish them all the lifetime of happiness and health, and I can’t wait to squeeze that baby soon and sniff it like a maniac (because, that newborn smell.)
We hope you enjoy this preview into their Italian Cultural Center Wedding renewal. Please contact us if you’re getting married in 2022- we’d love to create some memories with you, too!
