Christelle and Kyle said “I do” at their classic glam wedding in Shrewsbury, New Jersey!
Christelle and Kyle first met online through Facebook dating. Following a magical courtship, one beautiful summer night in August, Kyle took Christelle out to dinner at one of her favorite restaurants. Before being seated, Kyle suggested walking out on the deck to see the iconic New York City skyline. Christelle, having no clue Kyle was going to propose, was surprised to see a trail of roses leading towards the water.
Kyle took my hand, got down on one knee, and asked me to marry him… It was magical!

Christelle and Kyle held their classic glam wedding at The Shadowbrook at Shrewsbury in New Jersey. Its elegant aesthetic perfectly complimented the couple’s classic glam wedding style and decor, which included lush white and cream florals and gold accents. To incorporate Christelle’s Haitian culture, they played Haitian music, Kompa, during the reception, which brought all of their family and friends out on the dance floor.

Tell us about the proposal.
It was a stunning August Saturday and Kyle took us out to dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, The Chart House. Upon arrival, Kyle suggested taking a walk on the deck to admire the breathtaking New York City skyline. The closer we got to the water, the more surprised I was to see a trail of beautifully arranged roses. Kyle took my hand, got down on one knee, and asked me to marry him. The moment was captured perfectly by a nearby photographer. It was magical!
Wedding Style:
Our wedding style was a combination of glam and classic wedding style. My dress was a strapless sweetheart-neckline mermaid gown with a tulle skirt and embroidered lace fully embellished with water crystals. Kyle wore a classic shawl collar tuxedo.
What was the wedding shopping experience like for you?
The wedding shopping experience was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed trying on different dresses, shoes, and accessories until it felt right. There were so many great options which made choosing difficult at times. Kyle’s shopping experience was quite smooth and easy.
Did you incorporate any culture into your wedding?
I am Haitian, born and raised, and playing Haitian music, Kompa, during our reception was a must for us. Our families and guests enjoyed the music, and everyone was on the dance floor.
What is your best memory from your wedding?
Christelle: For me, it was walking down the aisle and locking eyes with Kyle. I
remember thinking: This is it; this is the start of forever. It was a happy moment.
Kyle: The top three best memories from our wedding were seeing Christelle walk down the aisle with her mother and father by her side. Cutting the cake was also very special. And most definitely the very last song of the night, which was “New York New York” by Frank Sinatra.
What is the best advice you can give engaged couples?
Enjoy the process of wedding planning and make it a priority so you can relax on your wedding day. Your wedding day is truly the best day ever. Remember to smile, the moment is being captured and those pictures will be what you have to look back on.
