We believe that love should be celebrated in all its forms and we are happy to share this blog with you with wedding photos from one of our favorite Key West wedding locations, Fort Zachary Taylor. Laura and Melissa answered couple of questions for our wedding blog.
Congratulations Laura & Melissa! We couldn't be happier to be a part of your wedding day!
Congratulations Laura & Melissa! We couldn't be happier to be a part of your wedding day!
-How did you two met? Chesapeake and Potomac Softball (CAPS), our LGBTQ love connector!
-Who proposed and how (where)? Melissa and our dog Maui proposed during a sunset walk on the Potomac River in Alexandria, VA. Maui helped by presenting the ring that was attached to her collar.
-Why wedding in Key West? Fort Zachary? We wanted a destination wedding and loved the laid back vibe of Key West. We visited a year ago and went to Fort Zachary at the suggestion of our good friends (our officiant Betsy and her fiancee Lorraine). The park was gorgeous and we loved the idea of getting married on the beach at sunset.
-What was your inspiration for your wedding? Fort Zachary was the inspiration in itself, we cannot have picked a more picturesque location.
-Describe some of your favorite moments at the wedding? Looking around to see all our loved ones who came to celebrate with us. Our private moments in the woods before our introduction. Our first dance and that we actually pulled it off after a four week crash course of private dance lessons. Watching our mothers dancing like it was Studio 54. Also, we loved the photo shoot at the fortress. It was a fun, peaceful prelude to the adrenaline rush of the actual wedding.
-What would be an advice to other brides from you? Take a couple moments during the day to step aside, just the two of you, and take it all in. Journal your favorite moments the next day so you will always remember them with details. We also did toasts the night before at a welcome event - it helped to have most of the tearful and quasi-embarrassing storytelling moments take place before the big day.
-What are your future plans? Honeymoon? Trips? We are in the process of planning our honeymoon at an adventure resort in Belize later this year. This summer is all about relaxing with our two dogs Maui and Raja poolside and playing softball, of course ;)
-Would you change anything looking back? Not a thing. The weekend was a dream come true...everything was shockingly perfect!
