Stateside Reception

Our Wedding

Todd and Justin met on April 18, 2021 in Sarasota. This place they call home is where they grew to know and love each other. From walks along the beach at sunset to Sunday visits to Boca, the two became inseparable.Their passion for travel has taken them near and far from Costa Rica to San Andres, Colombia. In 2022, Todd and Justin planned a trip to Iceland where Justin had plans to propose on the black sand beaches of Vik. However, their journey would be flipped, literally. As they were travel to the South Coast in Iceland, they were caught in a wind storm where the winds rolled the RV that they were traveling in and ending their trip early. Fortunately the two were ok but Justin knew that Vik was no longer a possiblity given the accident. After safely being rescued and checked by medics, Justin pruposed under a waterfall at a community shelter. The two got engaged that day and were shown love, compassion, and caring from the locals. The Icelandic Red Cross ensured they has a safe way back, a place to sleep, and a dinner to celebrate this momentous occasion.This brings us to 2024 where the two want to complete the trip and journey they set out on. Todd and Justin will be returning to the land of fire and ice to say I do on a small island just across the water from where their accident occured. Knowing how diffuclty it would be for family and friendsd to travel overseas, the couple wants to celebrate with you at a stateside reception on June 8, 2024 at their clubhouse in Venice, Florida.

Travel

A fun restaurant on the beach is Sharky's or check out the finer dining called Fins at Sharky's. This fine dining is upstairs and the general beach food is on the beach, Fins is where Todd and Justin had their first date.

Sharky's On the Pier

This is a great beach to look for shark teeth...heads up there are some rocks in the water here.

Casperson beach

This is probably my favorite local beach and typically more of a “locals” beach. It has a nice boardwalk to the water with patios. Usually is less crowded than the big beaches.

Service Club Park

This beach is a bit of a drive but soooooo worth it! This is arguably our most pretty beach on the Suncoast and AMI is a true Florida beach town.

Bean Point Beach Access

This is one of our favorite steak places here in Venice. The food is great and get ready to get stuffed as all entrees are served with popovers and salad.

PRIME Serious Steak Venice

Our favorite winery! Food is always great!

Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant- Sarasota

This is a really fun cruise to do if you have the time. They have multiple types of tours. They are known for their sunset party cruise.
