Our Wedding

James and I met when I reported to USS&nbsp;Little Rock. He was the Navigator and I was the First Lieutenant. I'll acknowledge the elephant in the room - you are not supposed to date on the ship! James and I were instantly best friends.&nbsp;Then in February of 2018, James fell and broke his leg while we were in Montreal, Canada for work. When he got hurt, I took care of him in the hospital and during his recovery. We found out almost immediately he was being sent home and a would no longer be a member of the crew. Bad news for his leg; great news for our relationship.(Sorry babe!)&nbsp;

Within weeks, I texted my best friend Hillary and told her I was going to marry this man one day.&nbsp;

We've had even more obstacles along the way, but we both knew we were going to end up saying "I Do" and we can't wait to share that moment with our family and friends!&nbsp;

Q + A

This hotel is the closest to the venue! It’s a great, brand new hotel with quite a few restaurant  options around it. It’s only about a 15 taxi or Uber ride to the venue! 

Holiday inn Express 

This hotel is further away, and will take you at least 30 minuets to get to the wedding property. However, it’s right in the middle of Gainseville and is surrounded by restaurants, movie theaters, a mall, and a lot of other activity options. This hotel is also very nice and has a great bar, pool, and lounge area downstairs. Maybe a better option if you’re thinking of making the whole weekend a bit of a vacation!
