Our Wedding

Michael and I met via a dating app. First was Tinder. We both swiped right but he had pictures from a themed party and he was wearing a fedora. So I let him on read. Whoops. Then came Plenty of Fish. We swiped and after talking for a day Michael asked me to go out for dinner with him. My first time saying yes! When he picked me up at my house and I saw the Mercedes I was even more excited. We ate at a delicious Mexican restaurant that is now the only brewery in Palm Coast. Beer! Something we both love. After that night I was hooked and it wasn’t until a few months later that I realized he was the guy I ignored on tinder. I almost missed out. On our very first anniversary, 1 month, Michael took me to The Garlic. It was the coolest, most romantic restaurant I had ever been to. I remember he told me, “people actually get engaged here.” And sure enough, 4 years later, Michael got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. Right there at the very table where we first celebrated.

Chris Castorino

My Best friend and “womb”mate (inside joke). Reason I will always call Connecticut home.&nbsp;We’ve been on so many adventures like&nbsp;crashing weddings,&nbsp;&nbsp;working at VS, beach getaways, cruisin' through Milford&nbsp;and always down for a&nbsp; beach getaway!&nbsp;We have&nbsp;so many epic&nbsp;stories.&nbsp; Together we have been a part of so many&nbsp;good and bad times in each others lives.&nbsp;She had to be a part of my biggest adventure yet! Love you Rock!

Raquel Lewis

My big sister, best friend, first friend,&nbsp; second mom,&nbsp;and role model.&nbsp;I don’t know where I would be in life without the love and support of her. No matter what comes up in life I can go to her. She gives me so much to look forward to by watching her be a great wife and mom to my nephews. I love you, Shell!

Villa 1565

Travel

Just over the Bridge of Lions&nbsp;in downtown Saint Augustine, this is one of our&nbsp;favorite place to grab drinks and hang out. Try the Smoked Old Fashioned or "Bartender's Call"!

Odd Birds Cocktail Lounge & Kitchen

Believe it or not this little place is one of our favorite restaurants in all of Saint Augustine! Get the Reuben Rolls or the Fresh catch. Even the fries are amazing!!

Meehan's Irish Pub & Seafood House

During the Night of Lights, which will be going on during your stay in St Augustine, this is one of the most decorated places there is. Its right on the water with amazing views of the Bridge of Lions. They have a huge menu of delicious Martinis and always top notch service. If you're hanging out with us, we will for sure be making a stop here.&nbsp;

The Tini Martini Bar

A little upscale but way worth it. Farm to table food, fresh made pasta, professional servers and bartenders,&nbsp; and the craftiest cocktails we have ever seen.&nbsp;(Plus, it's literally in an old ice making factory from the 20's.)

Ice Plant Bar

We don't do Trolley rides often, but when we do its in the Christmas season. The trolley becomes the "Holly Jolly Trolley" and you get to enjoy the Nights of Lights while singing Christmas carols!&nbsp; Depending on your train it can get pretty rowdy and its definitely a good time.

Old Town Trolley Tours St Augustine

Lots of cool shops and great eats on this street! Boat drinks is a great place to get a Florida cocktail, Catch 27 has great fish, and Casa Maya is a really fun tequila spot. Cousteau's is a waffle and milkshake bar! Whetstones makes the best hot chocolate! Saint George is miles of fun little shops, restaurants and bars. If you're staying in St. Augustine for even a little bit of time, you're going to end up on this street.&nbsp;
