CAITLIN & RYAN’S WINTER WEDDING

The love story:

Ryan and I “met” on Facebook around 2012 , we then would occasionally run into each other out at local bars in Staten Island where we grew up. We officially started chatting in November of 2017 when Ryan was away on a tug for Thanksgiving. Ryan and I would always respond to each others instagram postings with snarky and sarcastic messages and it felt like pure comfort from the first day. Our first date wasn’t until after that Christmas, we went to a brewery and laughed the entire time. It’s easy to say that was the first of many brewery’s we’ve visited together, and will continue too. Our schedules aren’t easy - Ryan’s always away with work and being a RN doesn’t always come with the best schedules - but we’ve never let “time” get in our way. We know what it’s like to celebrate birthdays early, Valentine’s Days late & no matter what - we make time to always check in even if there’s no response right away. We always giggle and say we’ve always had crushes on each other, I’m just happy he’s continued to crush on me even to this day. 

caitlin + ryan’s favorite parts of the day:

“The comfort level was our favorite part. The comfort of our families together, our comfort with our photographer & the comfort to be ourselves in a room full of our loved ones to celebrate. It was so pure, and so right”
