The votes were cast and now they've been tallied. So, before we kick off the fun (and kick-start this couple’s lifelong journey together), take a look at the complete list of winners.
Well chosen, TODAY fans!
Dress and tux
Elegant affair
Bride:
The winning dress for the bride embodies sophistication and grace. "It's a mermaid gown in a soft white crepe fabric and it highlights the deep, plunging V-back trend, that is so hot right now," Style Me Pretty founder, Abby Larson, explained. Understated elegance is the name of the game with this look, and its art deco flair adds a fun, Gatsby-esque element.

Groom:
"Navy is the 'it' color when it comes to men's formalwear," Larson said. And this navy tux by Calvin Klein for Men's Warehouse is so incredibly modern. Its super slim fit and grosgrain detailing along the pockets and pants makes it the perfect match for the bride’s Gatsby-inspired dress.

Honeymoon
Greece
What goes great with a "big fat" TODAY Wedding? You guessed it — a "big fat" fabulous Greek honeymoon!
Thanks to our friends at Luxury Retreats, a leader in global luxury villa rentals, the couple will enjoy two Greek islands on their vacation (with a 24/7 concierge, private chef and business-class flight tickets included), starting in Mykonos at the Villa Hurmuses. This sun-drenched location has spectacular views of the bay and a turquoise private pool. Kaitlin and John will also get to pick which fun-filled activity they'd like to customize: a private boat charter around the island, lunch and people watching at a popular beach club or diving at Mykonos' aptly named "Paradise Beach." The couple will also enjoy a private wine tasting and lunch at a famed vineyard, a visit to one of the island's organic farms to sample local produce and a meal at one of the five-star restaurants before hitting a nightclub.
The second stop on their honeymoon will be to Villa Joy on the legendary isle of Crete, where they will browse one-of-a-kind shops, explore the island's famed sites of heroes and myths — hello, Minotaur! — enjoy superb meals at world-class restaurants and then dance the night away at lively beach-side clubs. They’ll also take a guided hike through Crete's stunning Samaria Gorge!
