Real Weddings
Caitlin & Danny
Caitlin and Danny tied the knot on March 17, 2018. These newlyweds said their “I do”s under the Crabapple Trees and danced the day away at The Barn!
• How did you and your partner meet? Danny and I first saw each other as I was walking out from my first interview at our work. After we begun working together, our friendship grew into something we both knew was special. Not long after, we started dating and spent the summer enjoying concerts and beach trips together. Later that year, we were very excited and overjoyed to find out we were expecting our first child.
• Tell us about the engagement? It was an ordinary morning when Danny woke me up, excited to share he made my favorite pancakes. As I walked toward the kitchen table, I noticed it was covered with flowers and there was a little box next to my pancake. When I looked up at Danny, we were both speechless, and I immediately jumped into his arms. He put the ring on my finger, and I was so emotional that I’m not sure if I even said the word “yes”!
• What made Fearrington the place for you to say “I do?’ We have family and friends from all across the country, and we both knew we wanted to choose a place that could host an entire weekend easily. We love being outside and as soon as we walked through the gardens, we knew it was the perfect location for us. The unique charm of the village, friendliness of the staff, and efficiency of our coordinator, Gilda, made our experience memorable and a lot of fun!
• Describe the highlight moment of your wedding day. For me, the highlight of our day was walking down the aisle with my dad and seeing Danny holding our son Noah at the end of the aisle lined with our family and friends! Having all our family and friends together with us was the most special part of our day.
• What was the biggest surprise of the day? We were so lucky with the weather and were able to be outside even though it had snowed the previous weekend! Since it was St. Patrick’s day, many of our family and friends wore green and had beads to celebrate. As soon as the reception was over, it actually began to rain! It doesn’t get more lucky than that.
• Anything you want to add about your wedding story? We were able to watch our wedding video recently and felt so happy to be able to relive moments from our special day. Our experience was just how we remembered it, and we cannot wait to show it to our son when he is older. It is a day we will never forget!
