UPDATES!

Please read through all of the information on the weekend schedule, travel, and FAQs page. We have been updating our page as things change and progress. We do not want you to miss out on anything fun! Get excited for some Florida fun! TRAFFIC TIP: If you are not staying at Zota and plan to drive in for the ceremony, please allow extra time. There is construction on the draw bridge and traffic can get very backed up. It is also a draw bridge and it will most likely be a busy week for boat traffic. Please plan accordingly to avoid getting stuck in traffic. It is also a chain of islands... it is only two lanes the whole way. Take your time and enjoy the drive!

A TRUE LOVE STORY

Many moons ago, pre- covid times, young folks were free to run and leap on grass fields while slinging plastic discs to one another. This is how the two of us met. It all started as a friendship over frisbee, beer, and (let's be honest) turtles. But what were Michael's famous first words to Jill that really started it all? "Do you swing both ways?". Yes folks, Michael asked Jill post-Janus, a great ultimate frisbee tournament, what kind of dating life she had... for his own personal interest of course! Believe it or not, it took another few months before the friendship truly blossomed and we ended up having our first date: cheese and wine on the Fort Myers Pier to watch the bats fly out for the night. From there our relationship became "official" on the steps of scooter store in Key West. In the words of Michael, " So, is it okay if I call you my girlfriend?". As you can guess, Jill was okay with that. A road trip to Boston and move to a different state followed only five months later. In Georgia our relationship grew, along with our belongings and our family. With Ranger, our bassador, added to the pack, the happiness and love grew even more and it has not stopped! We are looking forward to continuing to adventure through life as married couple with the most adorable little pup! Cheers to never ending love and happiness!
