{Caroline + Mike @Postcard Inn}

It was a beautiful sunny Florida day. Caroline wore the most beautiful two toned gown! It had an elegant twist tie at the bodice.  Mike wore a J Crew suit with Sperry boat shoes. When we asked them how they met the bride blushes and said "in a pub" "how romantic"! Then laughed! But you would have thought they were high school sweethearts with the beautiful bond and love they share. While getting ready Mikw showed us the way he proposed...He and Caroline love Taco Bell, and on a trip to FL he had a custom hot sauce packet made with "will you marry me" on it! So funny and creative!  The ceremony was on the lawn at the Postcard Inn. The guests had cute little aqua fans at each seat to cool themselves off with. The groom smiled in awe as his beautiful bride to be was escorted down the isle. There was a moment of "oh no" then laughter when the ring bearer dropped the rings when handing them to Mike.  The reception was under the canopy of trees and lanterns, also on the lawn. Tables were adorned with candy vases and bouquets of smiley face lollipops for the kids tables and the rest of the tables had beautiful clusters of roses. Mason jars serve as water glasses and starfish place card holders were at each seat. The perfect setting for an outdoor beach wedding.  The best man, brother of the groom, wrote his best man speech on the back of a paper plate:-)  Mike surprised Caroline with a gift that was a framed picture of their 2 dogs all dressed up since they couldn't be there.  Caroline changed into a stylish "mini dress" so she could get her groove on the dance floor and the groom changed into shorts!  Everyone flocked to the dance floor when the brides "song" came on..."Sweet Caroline".  It doesn't get any better than that! Congrats you 2!! xoxoxo
