Our Wedding

Like most love stories, Russ and Lisa's began on a dating app (shoutout to Bumble!). Unlike most love stories, they decided it best to enjoy a first date on an overnight trip to the Hamptons. Russ's friends unfortunately (or fortunately in Lisa's case) bailed on this fun trip and Russ found himself in need of a new friend (and quick!). Lisa was lored into this date with swanky pictures of the pool and a love of anything traveling. Unbeknownst to most (besides Lisa's best friend ((shoutout Joe Neggie)) who decided there was a need to track Lisa's phone) they hopped in the Jeep and drove off on their first (of many) adventures. Soon, the fear of being murdered at an unknown location melted away and the conversation was flowing. We could say the rest is history, but it was really only the beginning. Between the shared love of vacation, games, beer, amusement parks, and each other, the adventure never ends. The day after Lisa met Russ, her friends asked her how it went... she told them she was going to marry him one day; and now here we are.

Half way between the town of Santa Elena and the Santa Elena Preserve the Sky Walk is located: This complex uses trails and suspension bridges for a more tranquil introduction to the ecology and natives of the forest canopy, constructed within the cloud forest. It allows a vision of the forest from a different perspective which starts with a walk on the ground taking you up to explore the treetops, a hardly discovered habitat, called the “canopy” with a naturalist guide.
