My freshman year at UCF. I knew I liked him the moment I met him but we remained friends. We didn’t start dating until years later. Look at us now!

On a lovely sunset stroll just chatting about life. I was completely surprised.

Everything! I cannot say enough good things about The Alfond Inn. From the food, to the service to the cozy suites, the place has it all!

I wish I knew that it would go by in the blink of an eye! Don’t sweat the small stuff and be present.

The perfect Florida brunch. Mimosas flowing, live reggae music and perfect weather.

Where will your honeymoon be?
We just got back from our honeymoon ski trip in Whitefish, Montana. 10/10 would recommend!
What are you enjoying most about newlywed life?
After the whole wedding experience it made me especially excited and confident in my relationship. It’s hard to describe...everything is different but it’s also the same. I guess it’s that “right of passage” that you hear about. We’ve passed on through to the wedded side and it feels so good!
