Connor and Kalyn’s wedding at Forest Lodge in New Jersey was a heartfelt celebration rooted in shared history, playful humor, and deep love. Their story began back in 2012, when they met working the same after-school job during senior year of high school. From a chilly March night stargazing after their first dinner date to a post-college, long-distance relationship that only strengthened their bond, their journey has always been marked by friendship, laughter, and an unshakable connection.
Their proposal, fittingly unforgettable, took place during a return trip to Santorini—one of their favorite travel memories. After a decoy sunset dinner filled with other couples’ engagements, Connor completely surprised Kalyn by proposing the next day in the middle of the sea during a private boat ride. With her hair up in a bun and no fancy outfit in sight, Kalyn said yes through tears and laughter. Later that week, they took formal engagement photos to commemorate the moment—proof that even spontaneous, windswept proposals can be pure magic.
When it came time to choose their wedding venue, Forest Lodge felt like a natural fit. Not only did it match their vision with its open layout and indoor-outdoor feel, but it also held a sweet dose of nostalgia—it was the same property where they had their sixth-grade class picnic. With eucalyptus florals, vintage mauve bridesmaid dresses, and grey suits with matching ties and socks for the groomsmen, the day had a soft, romantic palette that perfectly complemented the warm spring setting.
Kalyn and Connor bring out the joy in each other. Whether they’re dancing around the apartment, watching classic films, or wrangling their energetic weenie dog, Olivia, their dynamic is full of laughter and ease. Their wedding was no exception. They were most excited for the dance floor, and it did not disappoint—it was the kind of night you never want to end, filled with energy, love, and the people who matter most.
Congratulations, Connor and Kalyn! Your wedding was a beautiful reminder that the best love stories are the ones filled with laughter, history, and spontaneous moments. Wishing you a lifetime of travel, late-night dance parties, and endless inside jokes.
