Tropical Romantic Fall Wedding at PostCard Inn on the Beach, St Pete Beach, Florida

WEDDING DATE We got married on November 7, 2021. It was the day after daylight savings and we wanted the extra hour to party!

THE PROPOSAL I (Rylee) was 1000% surprised. We had just bought a house a month prior so I had no expectations of a ring anytime soon. Kara (MOH) and Kevin had picked my ring in January and I had no idea. I couldn’t understand why Kevin was so stressed out when I found the house I wanted for us because it was everything we had talked about. We signed on the house in February. We got engaged in Sarasota, Florida at our family’s time share on March 16, 2020. It was the first year in a long time that all 8 cousins were there and all the adults!

WEDDING PLANNING MANTRA If it happens it happens. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t. It’s only as big a deal as you make it!

FAVORITE MOMENT I cannot pin-point one. I loved them ALL. that sounds cliche but seriously this day was so perfect everything was amazing.

THE DRESS Simple, classic, lace and crepe. I wanted buttons all down the back and train and that’s what I got! I loved that it was simple and classic and I loved that the shoulders were disappearing mesh.

BEST ADVICE Don’t stress. Again- it’s only as stressful as you make it. Just enjoy it.

THREE WORDS THAT DESCRIBE OUR DAY Perfect. Magical. Surreal.

KEVIN SAYS … She is the best person to ever walk into my life. She’s gorgeous, her personality is unlike any other and she has the patience of a saint. I couldn’t imagine my life without her and I can’t imagine life without her for the rest of my life. She’s my best friend and I can’t wait to share this life with her until our dying days.

RYLEE SAYS … He’s handsome, has my back, makes me smile, is my best friend, and can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with him
