Kaitlin & Brian – Thatched Cottage Centerport, NY

Some words from Kaitlin & Brian —

What was your favorite part of your wedding?

Brian: The car ride from the church to the Thatched Cottage. It was nice to sit and have some time with Kaitlin and we got many honks and cheers on the ride — much more attention than I ever imagined.

Kaitlin: After the ceremony, walking out of the church with my husband. It was surreal and it truly felt like we were then bound and ready to take on the world no matter what would happen.

Their favorite part of the day — ” We had absolutely the best day. The weather was great. The flowers were beautiful. The girls’ hair and makeup could not have been better. The guys were as handsome as ever. Laura was fabulous, capturing all of the special moments and more. The Thatched Cottage was as amazing and perfect as I could have hoped, both in its beauty and the service. Everything that we wanted from the day came true—our families and friends enjoyed themselves and we just relished in their love because it was felt all day and all night long. “

On how they met ” We initially met in a New York Law School Dispute Resolution Team negotiation competition. We were negotiating a contract for a chef on a cooking program. I, along with my teammate, was the legal counsel for the TV network; Brian and his teammate were legal counsel for the chef. Brian may have won that one, but that was not the last he saw of his competitor. Two weeks later, we each arrived at Barrister’s Ball, which is generally considered to be the law school version of “prom,” with our own friends. Then, I was upstairs at the top of the stairs and I looked down. Brian was standing at the bottom step. Our eyes met. That was a Saturday night (the evening of my wonderful bridesmaid and cousin Mary Alexis’s bridal shower, to be exact) and Brian asked me to dinner for Monday night. It was lovely. We went out again on Wednesday, and then Friday, and then a baseball game with his friends, and a birthday party with mine. From that point on, our lives were intertwined.
