Jillian Sposato, 28, a CPA, and Kim Caldwell, 32, a financial advisor, met at a New Year's Eve party and shared their very first kiss at midnight. Their fourth year of dating, the couple went out to dinner the night before New Year's Eve and when they got home, Kim mentioned he had one more gift for Jillian - an engagement ring! The couple had their wedding where they first shared a kiss at the Admiral Fell Inn in Baltimore, Maryland because it was both sentimental to them but also had the antique, historic elements they were looking for. Jillian and Kim wanted to have a fairly modern wedding with a color palette of black and champagne accented with a touch of purple. There  was a wine barrel that guests could sign instead of traditional guest book, which was surrounded with wine bottles that represented different milestones the couple would be experiencing in their marriage, so guests could leave comments or tips. Music was a large part of Kim's life, so guests received CDs with songs that embodied the bride and groom's wedding day, along with recordings of the couple thanking their guests for attending the day that meant so much to them.
