From the first moment that I met Martin, I saw this amazing kindness in his eyes which was followed by this embrace life and genuine caring for people personality. Love and joy follows him around in a way that is only unique to him. He's constantly proving that he is willing to do anything to make the people around him feel special whether it is his girls, his family, friends, coworkers, or strangers. It's been a joy to combine our worlds, create a blended family, and watch relationships between kids, family, and friends grow in the most unexpected ways. Carina once told me that a strong relationship is built on 3 pillars; Trust, communication, and a common view of the world. I have been able to be vulnerable with her in a way I was not familiar with, she has broken down walls and built a bridge. She makes me a better man every day just by the way she loves me. Life will always bring new challenges, but life with her is easy. I look forward to every new adventure we share together, surrounded by our beautiful family and friends, and every memory we make on this journey of life together. As we spent more time together, we realized how much we accepted each other and the people in our lives unconditionally and wholeheartedly. While the adventure, laughter, and let's be honest, sometimes the day-to-day challenges of life (looking at you kids, work, and unplanned interruptions) has already begun, we are grateful for the opportunity to pause, celebrate, and make this official with a sunset beach wedding. While we know it is close to Christmas, we hope you can make this a pre-holiday beach weekend to make it even more special for us. To our friends and loved ones: thank you for being such a meaningful part of the journey that brought us to this moment. We are so grateful to have you in our lives and can't wait to celebrate this next chapter with you!
