Our Wedding

We met in our college years — young, a little chaotic, and figuring ourselves out — and even then, there was this unspoken pull between us. But life moved on after graduation. Brendon stayed to finish school, Michele started her career, and we went our separate ways… sort of. We never fully lost touch. Years later, that little spark turned into something real during a Labor Day weekend on Fire Island. Brendon invited Michele out to his family’s beach house, and from the second we saw each other again, it just clicked. It was effortless, fun, and familiar — like picking up where we left off but with more clarity. We spent quite a while in a long-distance rhythm — hopping on flights, cramming memories into quick weekends, finding magic in new places. The Florida Keys, Vermont, Long Island, the Bahamas, endless walks through NYC and Brooklyn. Eventually, we moved in together in the city, and life began to feel more like ours. Our families blended beautifully, and we brought home our sweet little puppy, Prince. Somewhere between the everyday routines and all the little adventures, we realized we were quietly building a life we never wanted to live without. Brendon finished PA school, started his career, and we moved into our very own house on Long Island — and then, on a peaceful beach in the Keys near Michele’s parents home, he proposed. So here we are — the same connection we felt back then, only deeper, stronger, and filled with unwavering love. And now, we can’t wait to celebrate what comes next with all the people who helped shape our story — in the place where it all came together.

We’ve put together a room block at The Islander Resort to keep everyone close, relaxed, and ready for beachside fun all weekend long! It’s right on the beach with beautiful views, pools, and all the tropical vibes you could ask for.   You can book your room directly through our special booking link above to receive the discounted rate. If you don’t see the room type or dates you’re looking for on our block but spot it available on their website, just reach out to Michele — we can add more rooms to the block if needed!   All wedding events — the welcome party, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and Sunday brunch — will be held right at The Islander, so staying on-site is definitely the easiest (and most fun) option! This is peak season so please book in advance to ensure we can add more rooms to the block if needed.    If you’d prefer to stay elsewhere, you’re more than welcome! There are plenty of great options nearby. Keep in mind Islamorada does have short term rental restrictions that make airbnb's harder. There is typically a 7 day minimum stay for the rental properties.   If you’re staying in Key Largo or Marathon, you may want to rent a car from the airport for easy travel to and from the festivities.
