Caity and Sean, who met online, were married on April 1, 2017.
Caity selected a dramatic strapless trumpet gown by Sophia Tolli that featured a plunging sweetheart neckline, corset back, and intricate silver beading and appliques. She accessorized with sparkly Michael Kors heels, drop earrings, and a knee-length veil, and a bouquet that included roses, ranunculus, peonies, botanical accents, and more. Her five bridesmaids wore full-length pale-pink dresses in a variety of silhouettes, and carried smaller versions of the bride’s bouquet.
Sean wore a dark blue three-piece suit with a pink tie and pink and white rose boutonniere. His five groomsmen wore dark suits with black ties and white rose boutonnieres.
During the ceremony, the newlyweds performed a sand ceremony to symbolize the joining of their lives.
At the reception, guests enjoyed a meal of mixed greens with house vinaigrette and a Parmesan crisp, creamy mashed potatoes, green beans with slivered almonds, and sliced beef tenderloin with cognac cream sauce and horseradish aioli.
Many of the bride and groom’s family members gave speeches. The matron of honor shared that every time Caity talked about Sean, she could tell how happy she was. The best man told funny stories about Sean and talked about his confidence.
The newlyweds danced their first dance to “At Last.” Caity and her father danced to “I Loved Her First,” and Sean and his mother danced to “Beautiful Boy.”
Each level of the three-tiered wedding cake was different: The bottom was done in pink ruffles, the center featured a white-on-white monogram, and the top had a damask design. The cake was also decorated with flowers and a custom silhouette cake topper that featured Caity and Sean’s last name and their pets. The back of the cake had a drapery illusion that “parted” to reveal three different gaming system logos.
Caity and Sean, who honeymooned in Maui, left the reception under the signature sparkler send-off.
We wish them love, joy, and happiness in the next phase of their lives!
