When Kaitlin and Tucker crossed paths in April 2022, neither could have imagined how their story would unfold. Introduced through mutual friends, their connection started with a photo and a phone number shared over text. While their initial spark fizzled, fate had other plans. In October, Kaitlin took a bold step, inviting Tucker to her ring dunk. He attended—and the rest is history.
From that moment, Kaitlin and Tucker never stopped talking, building a bond grounded in laughter, faith, and shared dreams. Their love story culminated in a timeless, elegant wedding at the stunning Camp Hosea.
Tucker’s proposal was a masterclass in thoughtful planning and heartfelt surprises. On December 2, 2023, Kaitlin’s parents set the stage for what Kaitlin initially suspected might be an engagement. They claimed there was a party for her dad’s work and suggested family photos beforehand. Kaitlin knew something was up—but the surprise still swept her off her feet.
When her photographer (who Kaitlin had secretly hoped would capture her engagement) appeared behind a tree, Kaitlin’s suspicions were confirmed. Surrounded by close family on her parents’ porch, Kaitlin’s heart swelled as she saw Tucker waiting for her on the pier. In a moment filled with joy and love, he asked her to spend forever with him—and she said yes.
For Kaitlin and Tucker, their wedding theme was a reflection of their personalities: timeless, classy, and elegant. A sleek black-and-white color scheme set the tone for a celebration that felt both sophisticated and warm.
Every detail carried sentimental value. Kaitlin’s dad handcrafted the floral stands, originally used for her sister’s 2020 wedding, which her high school floral teacher (now florist) incorporated into stunning arrangements. The personal touches didn’t stop there—Kaitlin’s mom and sister worked tirelessly to create a breathtaking floral wall, bringing Kaitlin’s vision to life.
Kaitlin’s wedding morning was as calm and joyous as she had hoped, filled with laughter and good vibes shared with her bridesmaids. As the ceremony approached, Kaitlin felt the anticipation build. But during a private first touch with Tucker, where they exchanged heartfelt vows, her nerves melted away.
Walking down the aisle felt like a rush and a blur, but when Kaitlin reached Tucker, the world stood still. From the heartfelt ceremony to the lively reception, the day was everything Kaitlin and Tucker dreamed it would be.
- The Reception Highlights: Italian food (Kaitlin’s favorite!), a fantastic DJ, and the presence of beloved friends and family made the party unforgettable. Tucker and Kaitlin’s guests truly showed up for them, creating a night filled with dancing, laughter, and love.
- A Sweet Gesture: One of the most emotional moments was when Kaitlin dedicated her bouquet to her mom. In a heartfelt speech, Kaitlin expressed her gratitude for everything her mom had done to make the day magical—a touching tribute to their close bond.
- A Special Send-Off: Kaitlin’s cousin, a self-proclaimed wild card, drove the getaway car, ensuring the celebration continued all the way to The Stella.
Kaitlin knew Camp Hosea was the perfect venue long before she was engaged. She followed the venue on Instagram after seeing their design plans and booked a tour as soon as Tucker proposed. The venue’s stunning aesthetics and thoughtful details made it an easy choice.
The staff at Camp Hosea exceeded every expectation. From their prompt communication to their flawless coordination and decorating services, they made Kaitlin and Tucker’s day seamless. Emily, their coordinator, ensured every detail was executed perfectly—Kaitlin still doesn’t know if anything went wrong!
For Kaitlin, the decorators’ creative freedom was a highlight. They transformed her vision into reality, creating a setting that was both elegant and deeply personal.
