Come Brunch With Us

Sunday

Stop in, beginning at 11 am, to say farewell to the bride and groom while enjoying some breakfast with us! It will be hosted at Moxie's Cafe - 541 N Tampa St. It is about a 10 minute walk from each room block hotel. On-street parking is available, as well as behind the building. If you are waiting for your flight out of TPA, feel free to bring your luggage and hang out with us. There is plenty of space to relax!

How We Met

We both graduated from Fort Myers High School in 2013 (Go Greenwave), though we didn't meet until our senior year of college in 2017! Danielle was at the University of South Florida and Brendan was at the University of Tampa. Our mutual friend, Ryan, invited us to a hockey game -- and the rest is history!

The Proposal

We were on vacation in Ellijay, Georgia, with friends Mike, Emily, Steph, and Justin. Emily and Danielle had been planning some hiking trips; meanwhile, Brendan was secretly texting them about his plans to propose. We chose a hike up Preacher's Rock with the dogs (of course), and while we were taking pictures of the beautiful scenery from the top, Brendan got down on one knee!
