Jimmy Stickle and Caitlin Krutsick's Wedding in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

The story of our wedding

Our hometown wedding was everything we could have dreamed! We met as kids because my (Caitlin's) best childhood friend (and maid of honor), Erin, is Jimmy's cousin. It was perfect to celebrate our love, grown over a number of years, in the place where it all began with a huge celebration of our friends and family. We both love the fall - maybe because we both played fall sports in college? - and knew we wanted to celebrate our wedding with a backdrop that fit all the warm colors and cozy feelings of the season. One of my mom's oldest friends helped put together decorations that captured that theme, and helped us weave in some subtle nods to our nerd love of the Harry Potter series. Although neither of us went to Lehigh, the campus' beautiful, old library gave us the perfect backdrop for our wedding pictures. We had the most thoughtful, loving bridal party who were a blast to spend the day with. And of course, we could not have done any of this without the love and support of our parents, who show us every day that marriage is beautiful and possible. While the whole thing was a happy blur, what we remember most is feeling so much love from all our guests and being so happy to share our love with them.
