Dress Code

Beach Casual - This is a beach wedding!!! Sundresses and shorts are welcome, and flip flops and bare feet are encouraged!

Registry

We have chosen not to do a traditional registry and have opted for a cash fund in lieu of physical gifts. We are currently saving to build a house and any and all contributions would go towards our down payment. You can find the cash fund on the page titled, "Cash Fund," above. Thank you!

Policies

We ask that you please do not have your phones out during the ceremony - our amazing photographer will capture all the moments that you want to see! Please also have them silenced or turned off so that we can all be present together. We encourage pictures and videos at the reception though! The only other policy that we have is that you HAVE FUN! We are so excited to share this day with you, and we hope you have a blast with us!

Air Travel

(The Venue)

Palm Island Resort is where the wedding ceremony and reception will be held. This resort is really unique because all of the units are individually owned, so no 2 places are exactly the same. The resort offers rentals of 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom villas. There are also 2 houses that may be available for rent that sleep 8-10 people. The resort is located on an island with private beaches and a lot of fun things to do. You do have to take a car ferry to get onto the island. The ferry is free for guests of the resort, and we will be paying for the ferry after cars are counted for those of you that are not staying at the resort (be sure to let them know you are there for our wedding). There will be a discount on rooms for guests of the wedding, but you must call to book your rooms in order to receive the discounted rate. We recommend that families and close friends book villas together and split the cost to save money! Below is a link to the resort's website. You can see more photos here!<a href="https://palmisland.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Palm Island Resort</a> You can view some of the units available for rent at the link below. If you click on the blue bar that lists the name of the unit, you will be able to see a description and lots of photos!<a href="https://bookings-palmisland.escapia.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Vacation Rental List</a>

Things to Do

We both went to FGCU, but we never actually met there. We met on Bumble and had an incredibly awkward first date at Justin's house, but we powered through! We saw each other every day that first week and then we made it official on September 14, 2018. We realized we were in love with each other 1 month later after an amazing date at the beach (we told each other a month after that), and we've been in love ever since. On March 7, 2021, Justin proposed at that same beach! We're best friends, we support each other during the lowest lows and the highest highs, we never stay mad, and we laugh as much as we can. We are so excited for where this next step in our journey will take us!

Megan is Sydney's childhood best friend.  They first started playing lacrosse together in 1st grade and were always on a team together until they graduated high school.
