On the Other Side of Love | Kailyn + Timo

May 31

“Today I will be forever blessed by getting to call you my wife… I can’t wait to start my life with you and continue this journey towards heaven together.”

There are weddings that shimmer with elegance, and then there are weddings that move you—deeply, quietly, forever. Kailyn and Timo’s day was the latter. A story steeped in faith, rooted in intention, and wrapped in a kind of love that feels destined. From their early college days at Saint John’s to their vows beneath the vaulted ceilings of St. Anthony’s Shrine Church, every moment unfolded with sacred purpose.

Their story began in the heart of campus ministry, where she was president and he the newly elected vice president. A passing glance in a chapel turned into a conversation, a conversation into connection—and eventually, a promise to spend forever together. It’s the kind of beginning that feels scripted by something bigger than chance. “You were my person. Though my choice, not yours. You can have it all,” Kailyn wrote to him. And in that quiet declaration, we saw the depth of a love that chooses, again and again.

The morning of their wedding carried a reverent stillness, each letter exchanged between them a love note and a testimony. Timo’s voice cracked slightly as he read, “You truly make me want to be the best version of myself and to work to become the man God is calling me to be.” That’s what made their day extraordinary—not the perfect florals or the glowing golden hour (though both were stunning)—but the way they continually pointed each other back to purpose, to calling, to heaven.

Their ceremony was rich in tradition, echoing with sacred vows and liturgy. But it was also personal—full of soft smiles, knowing glances, and a bond only years of shared growth can shape. And when they were pronounced husband and wife, it felt less like the end of a ceremony and more like the next chapter of a mission.
