Real Brides: Cassandra

Cass and Jon's love story began with a simple swipe right on Bumble. Their journey started with casual dates, which then turned into daily hang-outs. Amidst all those moments, they realized each was the one they had been waiting for all along. Together, they have traveled and adventured, and they built a home filled with laughter and dreams. Four years after meeting, on the shores of Nantucket, Jon finally popped the question, and Cass said yes. They recently tied the knot in the sunny Bahamas, a favorite spot of theirs.

For a few weeks, I had been dress shopping, visiting several stores. Then, I had an appointment at ThistleRose Bridal in Plainville, Massachusetts. I was specifically there to try on a dress I found on Pinterest and discovered it locally. I tried it on, walked out of the room, and one of my cousins, who is also my best friend, started crying with joy. Surprisingly, the dress I ended up choosing was not what I had imagined myself in, but I felt so comfortable in it, like it was made for me. It was casual, sleek, and elegant—just what I was going for. I feel like I 100% got what I wanted!
