Caitlin and Brad came to Fred Astaire Dance Studio Memphis to learn their first dance for their wedding back home in Iowa City, Iowa. \u00a0They\u00a0grew up a mile apart and attended the same schools starting in mid-elementary. Caitlin and Brad didn’t really know each other until high school, but became good friends Brad’s senior year (Caitlin’s junior). Friendship led to long-distance dating in college and the rest is history.<\/span><\/p>\n

Caitlin discusses her first dance, “We danced to “Forever Like That” by Ben Rector (the acoustic version). We had both been taking lessons for a while and didn’t want anything too choreographed. Sandra helped us with a styled intro and ending, and Brad led a waltz through the rest of it, impressing our guests (especially his mom!).”<\/span><\/p>\n

Caitlin and Brad were married in the same church as Caitlin’s parents, both sets of grandparents, and one set of great-grandparents. The couple incorporated a lot of tradition and history throughout our day in different ways, making it even more meaningful for us and our families.<\/span><\/p>\n
