Classic Black-Tie Wedding at Isla Del Sol Yacht & Country Club in St Petersburg, Florida

WEDDING DATE We got married on January 7, 2023. No particular reason for the date, it just worked with Connor’s baseball schedule.

THE PROPOSAL The proposal itself was a huge surprise! Connor took us out for a day on the beach and proposed right at the shore. Following, he surprised me with a planned dinner with my family and his!

WEDDING PLANNING MANTRA Personally, planning a wedding was a nightmare. I never dreamt of my wedding as most little girls do. But as soon as I had a vision all of my vendors were able to make it come to life. The process is very involved and quite stressful but man, when the day comes it is all worth it! My wedding turned out to be much more than I could have ever dreamt of.

FAVORITE MOMENT As soon as the ceremony was over, all nerves were over with and I just reminded myself to enjoy every moment and that helped so much.

THE DRESS I’m simple and minimalistic! My dress, as others told me, was “made for me.”

BEST ADVICE Friends, work together to make decisions whether you care or not. In the end it will be BEAUTIFUL and no one will care about the details that were missed the wedding day!

THREE WORDS THAT DESCRIBE OUR DAY Amazing. A Dream. Perfect.

CONNOR SAYS … She’s perfect, mine and breathtaking.

NATHALIE SAYS … He’s perfect, my rock, and composed (because I’m not).
