Our Wedding

Our Story

Our story began long before we ever realized it would become our forever. We first met in third grade through my stepbrother’s baseball team, crossing paths as kids with no idea what the future held. While we didn’t truly connect back then, something about our story always felt unfinished. Years later, in high school, fate brought us back together. A close friend who had moved away would visit Indiana from time to time, and those reunions slowly pulled us into each other’s worlds again. One night, everything changed. We talked for hours and discovered how deeply like-minded we were — our values, our dreams, and the way we saw the world aligned so naturally. Not long after, we started dating, and it felt like something we had always known was coming. (We’ve even been “married” on Facebook for nearly a decade now.) United by big dreams and even bigger hearts, we decided to take a leap of faith together. We finished high school online, worked full time, and saved every dollar to make our shared dream of moving to Florida a reality. In 2021, we finally made the move — and we’ve been loving every second of this adventure ever since. From growing up together to growing forward together, we’re so excited to celebrate this next chapter with the people we love most.

Spring garden party is the vibe. Beautiful pastels, colorful suits, fun cocktail dresses — it’s Key West, after all. Pinks, greens, blues, oranges, be colorful! Inspiration photos can be found here.

Things to Do

1. Where is the wedding taking place?Our wedding will be held at the historic Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum in Key West, Florida — a dreamy garden venue surrounded by lush greenery, rich history, and home to over 60 polydactyl (six-toed) cats! 2. What’s the dress code?Spring Formal is the dress code. Inspiration photos can be found on the dress code tab. Be colorful - its Key West after all! Please do not wear any white or off-white garments to the wedding. 3. Are the Hemingway cats really going to be there?Yes! The famous Hemingway cats live on the property and roam freely — they may even crash the ceremony. Please feel free to pet them, but be respectful of their space. Unfortunately you can not pick them up, but they are welcome to sit on your lap if they desire. 4. What’s the best way to get to Key West?You can fly directly into Key West International Airport (EYW) or drive down the scenic Overseas Highway from Miami. We recommend booking travel and accommodations early, as Key West can fill up quickly! 5. Where should we stay?There are many great options nearby, from charming B&amp;Bs to full-service resorts. We have shared a list of recommended hotels on the Things to Do Tab. 6. Is the ceremony indoors or outdoors?The ceremony and reception will take place outdoors in the garden. The weather in Key West is usually warm and breezy, but it’s always good to bring a light layer just in case. 7. Can I bring my kids?We love your little ones, but this will be an adults-only celebration (minus the ones that are in the wedding party) so we can all relax, let loose, and dance the night away! 8. Will food and drinks be provided?Absolutely! We’ll have a delicious dinner, drinks, and desserts — all with a Key West twist. Come hungry! Dinner around 7:15pm. 9. What time should we arrive?Please plan to arrive at the venue by 5:45pm, as the ceremony will begin at 6:00pm and you won’t want to miss it. 10. What should I do while I’m in Key West?Explore the island! From sunset sails to snorkeling, visiting the Southernmost Point, or touring more Hemingway history — there’s something for everyone. You can find a mini travel guide on the menu tab! 11. Will I get a plus one? This is event is strictly by invitation only. We will only be accommodating those listed on the invitation. Your Save The Date will have information regarding how many seats will be reserved in your honor.
