Our Wedding

As many of you already know, Jim and Alicia did not meet in a traditional fashion. They didn’t meet at a bar, an online dating site or through work. It wasn’t a blind date or a set up through mutual friends. Alicia was on her way to Okinawa to judge a gymnastics meet which was located on Kadena Air Force Base, and Jim was on his way back to the base after visiting family in Ohio. Alicia was lost and looking hopeless standing in front of the departure screen in Toyoko so Jim swept in and saved the day! As fate had it, Jim and Alicia were on the same flight to Okinawa. They spent as much time together as possible during Alicia’s work trip, and then proceeded with a long distance relationship for about a year and a half before buying a house together and moving to Ohio in July of 2017. Two months later, Jim proposed to Alicia at Yellow Springs Brewery where they were able to celebrate their engagement with a delicious frosty beverage and some authentic Japanese Ramen much like their first date.

Please check the hotel website for best rate information including specials and military/first responder discounts. However, please ensure that when you book, you notify the resort that you are part of the Ciccone-Metcalf wedding.  Finally, please let us know what room type you want to book so we can continually update our room block.
