Our Wedding

Christmastime 2012. Everyone is in Sarasota visiting their families. Beata makes plans to meet up with her friends at Geckos. Both Maggie and Dan decide to join. Back story: Maggie and Beata have been friends for 19 years and Dan and Beata went to art school together and have been friends since. However, Maggie and Dan had never met before that night. As soon as everyone got there the secret texts between Beata, Monika, Maggie, and Dan began. It was like middle school "who is your friend?" "she is cute" "isn't he cute?" "you should talk to him" "he is cute" etc. Maggie and Dan hit it off. They spent the rest of the night talking and dancing. Maggie invited Dan to her sister-in-laws Christmas party the following day. Dan was the first to arrive at the party, wearing a button up and a tie, and came with a bottle of red wine and a bottle of white wine (he wasn't sure which the family prefers) and Maggie knew right there that he was awesome.

How we met

After the Christmas party Maggie and Dan spent as much time as they could together. Dan was in the Air Force and living in Valdosta, Georgia and Maggie was attending Law School in Chicago. Dan came up to visit Maggie a bunch and they started a long distance relationship for about 3 months. Then the long distance relationship became an even longer distance relationship when Dan was stationed in Bagram Afghanistan for 6 months. They made it work and face timed twice a day. When Dan returned to the States he had 6 more months in the Air Force. Last June Dan started his residency in Chicago and the two finally got to live together. They have a cute apartment in Wicker Park, Chicago and recently adopted their first dog Astrid.

Then….

It was Dan's birthday party. The theme was the 80's and Dan was dressed as Marty McFly from Back to the Future. Maggie had no idea that Dan would propose because who proposes during their own birthday party, but he did. Dan sat everyone down in front of the tv and showed a slideshow he prepared and at the end asked Maggie to marry him. Maggie was very surprised and of course said yes.

Q + A

From the highway: Traveling either South or North on I-75, take exit 205/Clark Rd. Stay on Clark Rd., which becomes Stickney Point Rd., for about 6 miles till you hit 41 Tamiami Trail. Take a left at 41 Tamiami Trail. Travel for 0.4 miles and the venue will be on the left. You can park anywhere, but the entrance for our wedding will be on the right, back side of the building. For the ceremony, enter the outside courtyard.

Directions

There will be a bus that takes everyone from the condos to the venue, leaving at 5:10 PM. The bus will do two trips back to the condos during the wedding for those wanting to leave earlier at 9:00 PM and 10:30 PM and the last trip will be at midnight after the wedding. If you need to leave at different times Sarasota does have Uber, which we recommend over Taxi's. Yes, this is the Magic School Bus so songs will be sung, not so sure about the learning part.

Travel from Condos to Venue 

If you are flying, you can fly into three different airports. Tampa International Airport is about 1 hour north of Sarasota and you can rent a car (recommend) or Super Shuttle can take you from Tampa Airport to Sarasota Airport (or other locations in Sarasota) for around $57. Sarasota has an airport (SRQ). It may be a little bit more expensive, but it is much more convenient. It's located about 20 mins. from the venue/beach. Also, because it is such a small airport, check in and going through security only takes about 15 mins., so sometimes that's worth the extra cost when flying out and getting extra time at the beach. Cabs may be available, or call ahead to reserve. If you are staying longer and want to explore Sarasota, we recommend renting a car. There is a Super Shuttle, but you have to book the whole van which seats 10 people for $96. Sarasota does have Uber. Lastly, if necessary, there is also Ft. Myers International Airport which is about 1:30 hrs. South of Sarasota. Usually, Tampa and Ft. Myers have similar prices, so I recommend Tampa because it's closer, but it's always worth checking out.

Airports 

Contact Rae at info@seaclub2.com (email is best) or 941-349-0760 / 1-800-626-0258 to book. Please book as soon as possible. The condos are provided by a friend of Maggie's mom so we want to make sure that any extra rooms not needed for us they can rent out to the general public. Condos are located on Siesta Key, on the intercoastal and just across the street from the beach (5min walk). Let them know this is for Maggie Jasinska's and Dan Wagoner's Wedding. 1 Bedroom 1 Bath Condo = $ 952 Bedroom 1 Bath Condo= $ 1201 Bedroom 1 Bath Cottage= $ 1002 Bedroom 2 Bath Cottage= $ 1253 Bedroom 2 Bath Cottage = $ 145Please be aware there is a 12% tax which includes FL state plus some weird resort tax. So the only thing you need to pay for is the room + tax. They were nice enough to waive their other fees. These are all fully furnished with kitchens and most will have outside seating. There is a heated pool, BBQ area, and grassy area for activities, all look over the intercoastal. There is a dock for fishing and lights for night fishing. There are also laundry facilities located on the premise. Check out "things to do" for information surrounding the condos. For everyone staying at the condos we will be doing breakfast together Sunday morning in the clubhouse.

Condos 

Travel

It's on the key and it's beautiful. If you are staying at the condos, there is beach access, all you have to do is cross the street. Maybe a 3 min walk. If you drive to the main beach there is a parking lot, which fills up quickly.

Siesta Beach 

The Village has bars, restaurants, shops, salons , and rentals. You can rent bicycles, kayaks, scooters, jet skis, or go parasailing. Sun Garden Cafe is great for breakfast, Daiquiri Deck/Gilligans/SKOB are some fantastic watering holes with food. The Beach Club/Gilligans is great for night time dancing. If you need tourist-y things then check out The Beach Bazaar.

The Village, Siesta Key 

Our favorite bar in The Village. Outside seating, good drinks, and crazy people.

Siesta Key Oyster Bar (SKOB)

Provides free rides on the key, all you need to do is tip.

Free Ride 

The competition starts Friday the 13th and ends Sunday the 15th at noon. You can go explore the beach and see the sand castles. I recommend going Saturday before the wedding or Sunday when all of them are done. Its $6 cash only. But you can probably walk around perimeter and still see most of them.

Siesta Key Sand Sculpting Competition 

For those of you staying at the condos and want to stock up on some food, go to Publix. For those of you not from the south, it's the nice BIG grocery store.

Publix Grocery Store 

Yes, Sarasota finally got one !!!!!! So if you want more groceries, cheap wine, or small market charm, then go here.

Trader Joes 

If you are staying longer the next few things are for you. Located near the airport, this is a world renowned museum that was started by John Ringling (yes of the circus!) many years ago. Besides the art, there is a circus museum and John &amp; Mable's house, called the Ca' D'Zan, which are not to be missed. All surrounded by beautiful gardens and banyan trees.

Ringling Museum 

Displaying some classic Main Street charm, this area has plenty of bars, shops, and restaurants to check out. Sarasota is a center for the arts (including food!) and this area is a must see.

Downtown Sarasota 

Located on Sarasota Harbor, this is a beautiful island park that is perfect for taking a stroll anytime, day or night. While there you can appreciate the local artist's sculptures and sometimes spot dolphins playing in the water. There is also a Tiki Bar and restaurant located here should you need. Just outside the park there is also a bridge that spans the harbor and is great for walking and taking in the sights.

Island Park 

There are a lot of boutiques, sometimes a little pricey but it's fun to walk around and plenty of great places to eat, recommend Surf Shack.
