Our Wedding

Once upon a time, a guy and a gal shared an employer. The guy walked past the girl and said something funny. The girl reared her head back and let out a laugh that filled the whole call center. That was our only shared memory of our time together at RCI.ALAS!!&nbsp;Mark Zuckerberg created a platform that allowed the girl to stay in touch with her workplace friends and acquaintances after she left. One day, the guy discovered that the girl had an immense fear of spiders, so he kept posting pictures of spiders on his Facebook page and tagging her. Likewise, she discovered his fear is FEET! So she started posting pictures of heinous feet and tagging him in those photos. The teasing went back and forth and eventually, they started messaging each other on Facebook messenger to get to know each other better.One day, after sending numerous pictures of his newly remodeled house, the guy invited the girl to his housewarming party. The girl said yes at first, but then on the day of the party, she tried to back out. She had a feeling that he liked her and she knew that she liked him. She also had a feeling that he might just be "the one." So she started to run. She messaged him on Facebook and said, "I forgot - there's a Colts game today. I can't make your housewarming party." To which the guy got mad. He responded, "I live in Indianapolis. Did you really think I'd schedule a housewarming party at the same time as a Colts game?? Never mind. Just don't come.&nbsp;The gal quickly back peddled and ended up showing up at the party. They hit it off splendidly. He came to her birthday party 2 weeks later and from that point on, they spent many moments together. They were nearly inseparable.&nbsp;Fast forward to January 1st, 2018 - Darren took Amber to the beach, we packed a small picnic with champagne. There were fireworks as we pulled into the parking lot. As the clock struck midnight, Darren smiled at Amber, got on one knee and asked&nbsp;Amber to spend the rest of their lives together. This is not the end. As the song says, "It's only just begun."

We're leaving it up to you to book your rooms. There are a variety of options from timeshare to condos to airbnb to traditional hotels. Below are a list of places we are referring you to.&nbsp;Plan&nbsp;to take a Lyft or Uber&nbsp;back if you'll be drinking.

<a href="http://www.islandbeachresort.com/">Island Beach Resort</a> - This place is a little dated, but they're doing renovations right now. They have 1 &&nbsp;2 BR condos so if you're planning on staying for a while, you've got a kitchen. They also have one of our favorite restaurants and it's right on the beach. This is about a 15-20 minute drive from our reception hall.&nbsp;











<a href="https://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/jenvb-vistana-beach-club?program=spg" target="_blank">Vistana Beach Club</a> - This is a Marriott Time Share, so plan accordingly. You might get a good deal if you agree to listen to a timeshare spiel. Other than that, I don't know anything else about it other than there are no restaurants on site. Do your research on this one. It's also about 15-20 minutes from the reception hall.&nbsp;











<a href="https://www.marriott.com/hotels/hotel-photos/pbiir-hutchinson-island-marriott-beach-resort-and-marina/" target="_blank">Hutchinson Island Marriott Beach Resort &&nbsp;Marina</a> - This is a typical hotel on the beach. I think rates during this time are about $350+ for a basic room per night. They do have a decent restaurant at the hotel. They also have a couple of museums very close by.











<a href="https://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/jench-courtyard-hutchinson-island-oceanside-jensen-beach/?scid=bb1a189a-fec3-4d19-a255-54ba596febe2" target="_blank">Courtyard By Marriott Oceanside</a> -&nbsp; Also on Hutchinson Island, about a 10-15 minute drive from the reception hall. I've never stayed at this hotel. Prices start around $330/nt.











<a href="https://www.hutchinsonshores.com/" target="_blank">Hutchinson Shores Resort &&nbsp;Spa</a> - Never stayed here, but have driven by it and it's a beautiful place. Also right on the water. Ocean view rooms start at $350/nt. Rooms look modern, but nautical.&nbsp;











<a href="http://jensen-beach-inn.com/" target="_blank">Jensen Beach Inn</a> -&nbsp;&nbsp;Jensen Beach Inn is an independently owned cute little place right in the heart of downtown Jensen Beach. It's steps away from the Indian River (which is the brackish water that leads to the ocean.) You're only a 5 minute drive to the ocean from here. It's also right above Pineapple Jack's - a great little restaurant. They do have live music some nights so it's something to keep in mind and ask the innkeeper about before booking. This is about 10 minutes from our reception hall.











<a href="http://www.holidayout.org/outside_home.asp" target="_blank">Holiday Out Condos (Instead of Holiday Inn)</a>&nbsp;:-D -&nbsp; I know nothing about these condos. The website is outdated, but it looks like it's across the street from the beach.











Hampton Inn &&nbsp;Suites Stuart - This is in the "city" part of Stuart. Lots of restaurants nearby. Movie theaters for rainy days. The mall is about 10 minutes away. Beach is 10-15 minute drive. It's about 5-10 minutes from the reception hall. Prices start around $190/nt. This won't link properly above, so please go here to book:&nbsp;<a href="http://hamptoninn3.hilton.com/en/hotels/florida/hampton-inn-and-suites-stuart-north-SUANOHX/index.html">http://hamptoninn3.hilton.com/...</a>











<a href="http://www.riverpalmcottages.com/unit02.htm" target="_blank">River Palm Cottages</a> - These are cute detached cottages, some of which are pet friendly so you can bring the pooches with you. Whole cottages rent from around $230/nt.











<a href="https://airbnb.com" target="_blank">AirBnB</a> - CAUTION! Read every single word in the description before booking on AirBnB. Everyone's cancel terms are different. Amenities are different. You might be getting a room with a shared bathroom instead of a whole house. Payment is typically up front instead of at the hotel/resort. If you're ever in doubt or have a question, email the host before booking. ONLY&nbsp;book places that have multiple reviews that are 4 or 5 star. Now, as for where to book, almost anywhere in Jensen Beach is good. For Stuart, there are some places you'll want to stay away from, but most of it is really nice. Please feel free to email me: amberkpowers@gmail.com if you're in doubt about the location.
