On Saturday, we drove down to visit my Great Aunt and Uncle in Sarasota. What a perfect day for a road trip! We love Sarasota – what a brilliant City of the Arts!

On the way to Sarasota! I swiped the GPS off of my Harley for the day…

These giant jellyfish were all over the beach. Most were at least 18-20 inches in diameter!!! Someone been feeding steroids to jellyfish?

Go fly a kite! It’s great fun, and a wonderful way to relieve stress. We know many of our clients get a bit frazzled planning their wedding, and a day of simple kite flying at the beach is a wonderful stress reliever, as well as a simple way to put things into perspective. Just walking along the beach during this slightly cool time can do wonders! Pop your favorite hoodie on and get those toesies in the sand. Yes, I am a 43 year old male and used the word toesies. That is what makes me cool…at least that is what my wife says.

Kate and Aaron’s Crosley wedding, Preparation at the beautiful Ritz-Carlton Sarasota

Kate gets serenaded by her ladies-a piece from the Lion King, I believe.

The ladies get verklempt as the wedding dress goes on…

A moment of relief after preparation…

I think the fantastically funny Father said something to me about going to Purgatory if I am lucky…

The wedding day goes by so quickly, it seems like a whirling blur…
