Our Wedding

Chapter One

Ihosvany and Elizabeth met during the dog days of summer back in 2014. It was in the upstairs corridor of a nineteenth century Victorian-style home, known colloquially as ‘The Gypsy House’. Ihosvany was making a stopover at this eccentric St Augustine home on his way back home from an Appalachian road trip. He parked his S10 in the driveway and went in with excitement, ready to go to see Willie Nelson at the amphitheater. Elizabeth, the newest roommate, was doubtful when she was told that she “might really like this guy.” They were both 22. She awoke the morning after Ihosvany’s arrival and as she meandered through the hallway she saw the traveler in the guest nook. They locked eyes and said hello shyly. Both of them felt the proverbial “it” and immediate romance ensued. Those early days were filled with barefoot walks and climbing trees. Her roommates were right. The fire burned hot and fast, but the youngsters were not ready for such a love. Their initial romance, for all its intensity and by no fault of their own, did not last.&nbsp; Some years passed, but the love remained. Occasional check-ins, but nothing more, they existed in the periphery of one anothers worlds. In 2018, they bumped into one other at a Fleet Foxes concert and locked eyes once again. The check-ins became more frequent. In 2020, when the whole world fell apart, they naturally connected to say “hello, this is bananas.”&nbsp;&nbsp; Well, bananas kept growing, phone conversations grew longer. Being apart was no longer an option. The only way forward was together.

Semi formal/garden glam   Be comfortable, beautiful, glamorous, over the top or understated. We will love whatever you show up in.

Weather

Florida weather in January can range from 40°F-80°F. The venue is situated on the intracoastal waterway meaning it will most likely be breezy and the event is entirely outdoors. The venue is a lychee tree farm with lots of green space to roam and explore. Based on this information we recommend the following: - wear shoes that are suited to walking in grass/uneven ground- bring warm layers- check the weather for Wabasso, FL the week of

Registry

We have lived together for several years and have no need for household items. For this reason, and to prevent our families from having to carry bulky items home from the venue, we request that the reception is cards only. There will be a 'mailbox' at the bar for you to deposit them. While you're there, grab a drink and come dance with us.
