How we met! ( From Kelsi - the bride )
Londn and I are both originally from Yukon and therefore have known each other since grade school. Although we never dated until after we were graduated from high school, we have always been good friends. We reconnected through mutual friends about a year after and have been inseparable ever since!!
The proposal!!!
When we first started dating, Londn took me to Bricktown to walk around and enjoy some of the beautiful weather. We came across the Botanical Gardens without even realizing and found a seat with a beautiful view in front of us. I remember we sat and talked for hours. I didn't know it at the time, but Londn said that it was that moment, sitting on that step together, that he knew he was in love with me. Londn and I went downtown for what I thought was a fancy dinner and a night out with friends, when we found ourselves stumbling along the same path we had walked just 3 short years ago. Londn began by asking me if I remembered the exact step where we sat that evening. As we approached the familiar scene, reminiscing together, I had no clue what would come next. With both our families hiding around the corner, he got down on one knee and said the sweetest words I've ever heard. Hearing shouts and whistles in the distance moments after I said YES, I couldn't believe it. He had thought of it all! Little did I know it was only going to get better. We all went to a near restaurant/bar where I found all our friends there to greet us. The perfect end to a perfect day. HE DID SO GOOD!!!
We chose to have the wedding in Key West because it was the first port on our cruise. We also chose to have it at the first port so that our friends and family could attend without the stress and challenges of getting a passport.
We chose Southernmost Beach Resort because it was the best for the price. This location was breathtaking and was going to work well with our wedding coordinator from “Say Yes in Key West”.
I would say that our inspiration for the wedding was location, location, location. We wanted all décor to tie into the beach theme. We also wanted it to be all about family and friends. We wanted everyone to have an awesome wedding experience.
Some of my favorite moments from the wedding would be initially walking into the area where I was first able to see the set up. The Key West wedding venue was even more breathtaking than anticipated and made every moment so special. I loved every moment of our ceremony, but our cocktail hour was a blast as well. I loved working with all our Key West wedding vendors!
My advice to other brides would be to live in the moment as much as you can. Look around and take it all in. Try your best to enjoy every moment, even the stressful ones. I would also recommend doing a destination wedding. Having a smaller, and more personal ceremony was exactly what I didn’t know I needed. Save the big crowd for a reception back at home!
As for our “honeymoon”, it began right after our wedding! We continued cruising into the Bahamas and had the opportunity to see and experience many romantic things while on the cruise ship!
Congratulations Kelsi and London from all of us at Weddings By Romi and thank you for answering all those questions for the blog!!! We wish you long life of happiness!!
