It was such a lovely touch," she continued.The happy couple announced they were expecting a baby boy just months before their big day, after starting their IVF journey in February 2022.
"She went for multiple fittings to make sure it still fitted and the week before the wedding she ended up having to have the stitches taken out the sides. But honestly, we didn't mind if we had to walk down the aisle in bin bags, we were just so excited and happy to become wife and wife with Leah carrying our son," Caitlin told us.
