Our Magical Beach Wedding in Key West

I am officially married!!!

Our wedding in Key West was nothing short of a dream come true. Surrounded by crystal-clear waters and sandy shores, we exchanged vows on the beach with the ocean as our backdrop. The warm breeze, the sound of waves crashing, and the golden sunset created the perfect setting for the most memorable day of our lives.

We envisioned something tropical, glamorous, and by the ocean—and Key West was the perfect place to make that happen. The island’s natural beauty and peaceful ocean atmosphere made our celebration feel magical. With our closest family and friends gathered around us, the day was everything we could have hoped for and more.

The celebrations kicked off on Friday with an adventurous day of diving and spearfishing—a perfect way to enjoy the ocean with our closest friends and family. Afterward, we got ready for the rehearsal and our welcome party at the Hyatt Centric Resort. Surrounded by incredible live music, amazing food, and sunset views, it was the perfect way to start the festivities.

On Saturday, the day started early for the girls as we got ready together, while the guys relaxed and filleted fish from the day before at the house. The first look with my dad was one of the most emotional moments of the day—it’s something I’ll treasure forever. After our beautiful beach ceremony and reception full of dancing and celebration, we took the trolley to downtown Key West and ended the night at Irish Kevin’s, where the energy and laughter continued.

The Details
Our ceremony took place on the beach at the historic Casa Marina Resort, a stunning venue that offered breathtaking ocean views and timeless charm. Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktails on the Flagler Patio and Lawn, serenaded by a live saxophonist, while we snuck away for sunset photos on the beach. The reception in the elegant Flagler Ballroom was filled with delicious food, heartfelt speeches, and nonstop dancing.
