Todd & Lisa - Beach Wedding

The long awaited day had finally come!  Lisa had a little alarm set to remind her of the exact moment that Todd had proprosed this same time last year.  All the family had arrived safely by plane and gathered in Naples for the upcoming ceremony.

Lisa had everything organized to a "T"...and I mean a capital letter T!  We're talkin' gift bags in the hotel rooms, hula skirts for her little jr. bridesmaids, coconut drinks at the rehearsal dinner, bridal breakfasts, ...even down to a small bag of quarters in aqua mesh bags for the meters when parking!  She had thought of everything!!  And, although the way she planned her wedding was far from traditional, she had such memorable & thoughtful touches to everything...even to her late grandfather's Gideon Bible to be read from during the ceremony. 

And I wish you all could have seen Todd's eyes as he watched her...as he even just talked about her...you could hear his heart...he has such love and adoration for his new bride...he'd been courtin' her for 8 years...he was READY for this day to come!

I hope you enjoy these few details from the weekend...be sure to stay and watch the slideshow at the end and/or hop over to CTPhotoMemories on Facebook for more images!  Let me know that you stopped by in the comments:) 

This is what greeted each person as they checked into their hotel room...

After the rehearsal, in true Floridan style, we headed to this little hut for some yummy ribs and chicken and some hula presentations from the jr. bridesmaids...

Their families surprised them with a wedding cake since they opted out of one for the reception...they had such fun!

The morning of the wedding was gorgeous and the bridesmaids enjoyed a delicious breakfast at "Jane's Restaurant"...

I loved every detail...

I popped over to see Todd while Lisa continued getting ready...they wanted to wait to see each other for the first time when she walked down the aisle...

Her nieces were adorable and soooo ready for twirling in those dresses...

After the ceremony, we headed over to the HOT beach.  We walked on the HOT sand, in the HOT sun...did I mention that it was HOT?  Todd & Lisa were such good sports and I think it was worth it...

Then off to the Naples Princess for the reception...where everyone laughed, danced and had an awesome celebration as the sun sank in the sky over the ocean...
