Paved brick pathways among orchid-filled trees and the grand home that was built by Captain John Huling Geiger in the 1840s as a residence for his family. . The Audubon House and tropical garden is in heart of Old Town Key West and was the choice of Key West wedding venue for Sophia and Andrew. For the sunset we were able to slip just across the street to Mallory Square and watched the sun goes down at this special day.

1. Sophia, how did you meet, who proposed and how?

Andrew and I met while I was at college in Davie, FL. We were two kids who ended up growing up together and going through all the obstacles that relationships and your 20’s have to offer and we made it through the best of friends. Andrew proposed on his 30th birthday, which happens to be Valentines Day. We had taken a trip to New York a few days before, in which he planned on proposing but later admitted he was so nervous that every time he had the opportunity to do it, he chickened out. I found it sweet that after nearly 11 years, he still had butterflies when asking me to marry him, even though we already knew we would spend the rest of our lives together. He finally found the courage while we were out on a quiet dinner together the night of his birthday. It was intimate and private and perfect.

2. Why wedding in Audubon House?

We chose the Audubon house because without a single decoration, the location is already gorgeous in all its natural beauty. It did not disappoint.

3. What was your inspiration for the wedding?

We wanted an outdoor wedding because we wanted a venue with natural beauty and an open environment. The outdoors with a rustic touch. We love the outdoors and fresh air. It was warm, but it was breathtaking and totally worth it!

4. Describe some of your favorite moments at the wedding.

Some of our most favorite moments were the dances. The couples 1st dance, father/daughter dance, and mother/son dance. The emotion felt during these moments is something we will cherish for a lifetime! And I can not forget the moment our daughter got on the mic and sang drakes part in the song sicko mode. It was definitely one of the biggest highlights of the evening.

5. What would be an advice to other brides from you.

Try to enjoy and be present in every moment even though there is a million things going on and you have a 1000 emotions to manage, because when it’s over, you will look back and wish you could relive it again. It truly is one of the best days of your life. I wish I could have had a little more of it.

6. What are your future plans? Honeymoon? If you had honeymoon, tell me what you loved the most.

We plan to continue conquering obstacles together and building the best life we can together with our daughter. We went on our honeymoon two days after our wedding to Tulum, Mexico. We can’t wait to go back!

Congratulations Sophia and Andrew!! We loved being part of your wedding day!
