Small Summer Destination Wedding at Shephard's Beach Resort, Clearwater

WEDDING DATE June 12, 2020. It was a date available for family and friends to come to a destination wedding in Clearwater, Florida.

THE PROPOSAL Keith proposed to me on the beach in Florida. We are from Ohio. He made sure he proposed to me with my mom, dad and brother around. Him and my brother and dad had gone to the store the day before the proposal to purchase a fake sea shell to put the ring in. We were all at the beach having a great time. Keith asked me to walk with him down the beach a little. He looked at a shell that was on the beach and told me to come look at it, then he got on one knee and asked me to marry him. It was so cute, I will never forget that moment.

WEDDING PLANNING MANTRA I made sure to stay calm, I knew that whatever was meant to happen would happen and that it would all fall into place.

FAVORITE MOMENT There were so many great memories from our big day. I am just so thankful for our friends and family that came all the way from Ohio to be with us. It was so much fun and such a perfect day. I loved the dolphins behind us as we were getting married. I saw them on video later on. My family loved it and said it made the ceremony so special.

THE DRESS My mom, my sister-in-law, my moms best friend and my aunt and I went shopping for my wedding dress. I probably tried on close to 10 dresses. I loved that my dress had so much design in it. I could see myself wearing that dress on the beach for my destination wedding, it looked to me like a perfect beach wedding dress.

BEST ADVICE Don't stress out over little things, it will all work out. Also the day goes really fast so try and enjoy every minute of it!
