The couple’s journey began at Saint Joseph’s University in Pennsylvania, where they first crossed paths while Brigette was a junior and Mitch was a sophomore. Their deep connection blossomed during their college years, as they frequently spoke about their futures together. Brigette, who runs the popular social media account @AcquiredStyle, recently shared the joyful news of their wedding on her Instagram account, where she referred to Mitch as her “Husband & Wife.”
For their special day, Pheloung chose a breathtaking Vera Wang gown featuring a drop waist and a voluminous ballgown skirt adorned with large rose detailing.

The bride shared a heartwarming transition video capturing her journey from the moment she donned loungewear with beauty masks, to unveiling her enchanting wedding gown. “The dress of my dreams,” she captioned the footage, highlighting her excitement for the big day.
While the couple had a grand celebration for their nuptials, they were legally married on June 29 at their university, marking a significant milestone where their romance began.
