Pops of Hot Pink Completed This Elegant Wedding at The Shore

Kyle and Kate wed on August 24, 2024 at The Mill Lakeside Manor.

Their Story

Kyle and Kate first met in middle school.

“We then rekindled the spark going into junior year of high school and we were inseparable ever since,” says Kate.

The Proposal

“The proposal was everything I could have dreamed of being in one of our favorite places, Sea Girt, with family,” says Kate.

“My mom claimed her friend saw a whale at the beach so Kyle and I walked down to look in the rain.”

“As we approached the beach, there were flowers and candles in the gazebo and that is when Kyle got down on his knee and after many sweet words asked me to marry him.”
