Kleinfeld Love Stories: Karyn & Mark
About the Proposal:
Engaged: Summer of 2025
Mark and I met in Ischia, Italy in the summer of 2024. We were on a big trip with mutual friends/family that all grew up together. The trip has grown each year to include kids, grandkids, and friends of friends. I was there with my parents and he was there with friends. Sparks flew, we began dating and returned to Ischia the following year. Mark proposed on the beach that we met the year prior. It was beautiful, romantic, intimate and sentimental.
About the Dress:
Consultant: Steven
I had been to one other bridal store and tried on multiple dresses. each one felt like "a white dress" i didn't feel special in them. when people asked if i found my dress i said "i'm choosing between 3" and they said "then you didn't find it." i came to Kleinfeld and Steven was my consultant. He asked what i was looking for.. i had NO idea. I never thought about it and no pictures really stood out to me. I said "You tell me! You're the professional!" he said "I got you." The FIRST dress he chose was my wedding dress. I put it on and I knew!

Our wedding was on the Fourth of July. It was sexy, romantic and fun! Deep red roses, tons of candles and gold candelabras. Everyone was there to party, the dancefloor was packed all night. I wish we could do it again next year!
