Our Wedding

Our Beach Love Story

Vincent and I met in our freshman year of college at Johnson &amp; Wales University. Seven months prior to starting college in September I had met a kid from Vermont, named Jack Kelly. I first met Jack at Accepted Students Weekend for Johnson &amp; Wales University. Jack became my first friend at Johnson &amp; Wales University that year. The first couple of weeks of school starting, I went to visit Jack at his new dorm room before going to the beach. Then standing there in the dorm room was Jack's roommate, (and future love of my life) Vincent. Vincent and Jack became our newest friends of our JWU group, where we went to the beach every weekend, drove each other everywhere, and hung out every chance we could together. After weeks of hanging out with our friend group all the time, as Vincent and I grew closer as friends playing volleyball, football, and swimming at the beach together on our off time. One night we were going to go to the beach at night, I met with Vincent at our dorm building, where Vincent had expressed his feelings for me, and that is when I told him that I felt the same. So a couple weeks later Vincent asked me out officially with roses and then continued into our first date at the beach with a lovely dinner at Red Lobster. We have faced many trials and tribulation but our love together has flourished and grown even more everyday. As we approach our wedding day, we will have been together for five wonderful years, and can't wait for so many more to come!

The show is a daily spectacular featuring a series of orchestrated outdoor music and light shows showcasing the LED lights built into all sides of the brand new and immaculate The Guitar Hotel. The lights are programmed to change color and intensity and are choreographed to different songs. Six high-powered beams of light accentuate the production by projecting at least 20,000 feet into the sky. The six lights mimic the strings of an imaginary guitar neck.
