WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO MODEL<br />

FOR THIS PHOTO SHOOT?<br />

Caitl<strong>in</strong>: My best friend <strong>and</strong> current bridesmaid, M<strong>and</strong>y, was<br />

a <strong>Real</strong> <strong><strong>Wedd<strong>in</strong>g</strong>s</strong> real bride model a few years ago. She had<br />

such a wonderful experience, so she strongly suggested<br />

I apply. I also was a fan <strong>of</strong> this magaz<strong>in</strong>e prior to my<br />

experience. I love how helpful <strong>Real</strong> <strong><strong>Wedd<strong>in</strong>g</strong>s</strong> is as well as<br />

how it showcases beautiful <strong>and</strong> au<strong>the</strong>ntic women.<br />

WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF THIS SHOOT?<br />

DID YOU RELATE TO THE CONCEPT?<br />

C: It was dr<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> fake cocktail <strong>in</strong> front <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fire.<br />

It truly felt like a Carrie Bradshaw moment. My second<br />

favorite part was eat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> sea-salt caramels made by<br />

chef Jeanette from Ris<strong>in</strong>g Simplicity. Jeanette was like<br />

my second mom grow<strong>in</strong>g up, so it was fun see<strong>in</strong>g her<br />

<strong>the</strong>re <strong>and</strong> eat<strong>in</strong>g her caramels. I didn’t relate to this<br />

concept, because how opposite it is to my upcom<strong>in</strong>g<br />

wedd<strong>in</strong>g—we won’t be gett<strong>in</strong>g married at a hotel <strong>in</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> city or dr<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g by a fireplace—but, it was such<br />

a beautiful shoot <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> team did an amaz<strong>in</strong>g<br />

job...it was such a fun experience!<br />

IF YOU COULD OFFER ANY ADVICE<br />

TO FUTURE NEWLYWEDS-TO-BE,<br />

WHAT WOULD IT BE?<br />

C: Enjoy every m<strong>in</strong>ute <strong>of</strong> it. Soak it up<br />

before <strong>the</strong> engagement season is<br />

gone. Stay present <strong>and</strong> practice selfcare.<br />

F<strong>in</strong>ally, don’t forget to show<br />

gratitude to your fiancé, family<br />

<strong>and</strong> friends; <strong>the</strong>y are <strong>in</strong> it for <strong>the</strong><br />

long haul. From my experience,<br />

I couldn’t survive this season<br />

without <strong>the</strong>m. (I also couldn’t<br />

survive it without b<strong>in</strong>ge<strong>in</strong>g<br />

Friends with a bottle <strong>of</strong> my<br />

favorite v<strong>in</strong>o, <strong>of</strong> course.) OO<br />
