This contemporary hotel was a fun and luxurious setting for Kaitlynn and her bridesmaids, and Michael and his groomsmen, to enjoy the pre-wedding excitement.<\/p>\n<p>The couple had originally met at a mutual friend\u2019s birthday party and in Kaitlynn\u2019s own words: &#8220;I was under the impression we were in for a night of salsa dancing. I dressed appropriately with bangles, a belly shirt with tassels and a red flower in my hair. When I arrived to our friend\u2019s house I came to realize plans had changed! People were arriving in suits and I learned we were headed to a high end night club. Although I was mortified, it was quite the ice breaker. We thank our mutual friend Nicolle for introducing us. She stood by my side as a bridesmaid while I professed my love for Michael.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Once we arrived on the beautiful grounds of the Crane Estate, Kaitlynn put on her gorgeous dress in the elegant bridal suite of the Stuart-style mansion, designed by the world-renowned architect David Adler.\u00a0Katitlynn was stunning in her <a href=\"http:\/\/www.simonecarvalli.com\/#\/\">Simone Carvalli<\/a> dress purchased at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tullebridals.com\">Tulle Bridal<\/a> in Andover, MA. She discovered Tulle through a close family friend named Cat, a former manager of a bridal salon in New Jersey. \u00a0Kaitlynn had tried on the dress very early in her search. She brought her mother -in &#8211; law to the bridal boutique to see the dress and when she walked out wearing it, her mother &#8211; in- law started to cry. At that moment, Kaitlynn knew this gown was the one.\u00a0Michael&#8217;s amazing three piece, custom tuxedo was handmade by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dressedbycc.com\">Christopher Cuozzo of Sprezzatura<\/a> in Woburn, MA.<\/p>\n<p>Michael and Kaitlynn\u2019s first look was on the breathtaking \u201cGrand Allee&#8221; which is a wide stretch of rolling, grassy land cascading all the way down to the ocean. The elegant atmosphere of the estate was a perfect venue for this striking pair. Following their ceremony, which was full of humor, elegance, and breath-taking seaside views, the couple took to new heights for a few intimate shots on the Crane Estate rooftop. Delicious food was by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.firesidecatering.com\">Fireside Catering<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Friends and family celebrated with love and enthusiasm.
