It's official...

Mr. and Mrs. Benedict and Caitlyn Cook

... they're married! With Fr. Ralph witnessing and the Steds family present, Caitlyn Merrill ’21 of Catholic University and Benedict Cook ’21 of Steds were married at the Chiesa di Sant'Ignazio di Loyola in Rome, Italy. Since the couple met in Rome, they wanted to make their vows there, the city where all roads lead, even hearts too! It was a beautiful day, and not only were the couple excited but also any and all persons in the Eternal City who saw this bride and groom. Indeed, the crowds cheered and applauded the couple before and after the wedding so much so that the couple actually caused a traffic jam. Everything was thoughtfully planned out, and the day was a true reflection of them and how they see their life now as one. On Caitlyn going the Steds Family, Chris Foley ’20, Stedsman and groomsman, declared, “Cait has felt like family for years, but now she’s officially in the STEDS family. She’s for the kids!”

Best wishes and congratulations to Cait and Ben!
