Caitlin and Mark

Spring Lake, NJ, United States

We were best friends in college, but did not go on our "first date" until almost a year after graduation from Rutgers University. It was quite an experience; Mark was from Vermont - getting a new job in Manhattan, and I was trying to make it as a dance teacher in New Jersey. Everything fell into place, and Mark proposed on Labor Day 2016 where it all began: on the beach of the Jersey Shore.

Caitlin: The second I got engaged, I knew that I NEEDED Hayley Paige for both my own bridal gown as well as my bridesmaids dresses. Her "Pepper" gown was the first dress that I tried on, and though I attempted to not be cliche, I knew it was the one and the rest was history. My search for my bridesmaids dresses was even easier - I thought I would try the whole "mix and match" thing, but the dress I ended up having all of my bridesmaids wear was so classic, and I still get comments about it until this day. I have always been so self-conscious in general, but Hayley Paige has literally given me the chance to feel truly beautiful. I owe everything to her for giving me the best day of my life.
