Amanda + Kelly met at Tampa General Hospital on their orientation day. Not knowing anyone, Amanda was watching and listening to Kelly as he was talking to others about his numerous pets. She shyly gathered her courage to join the conversation and ended up getting Kelly’s number. Since they worked different shifts, they mostly talked on the phone until slowly losing touch. Their relationship re-ignited months later when Amanda saw Kelly at work ‘on the wrong shift’ and the rest is history.

Kelly proposed to Amanda while vacationing in California with family. He had brought her to the very edge of the coastline of La Jolla beach and asked her to marry him surrounded by an audience of seals! Romantically inspiring, Amanda + Kelly’s wedding contained traditional elements as well as containing the quintessential Florida beach vibe. Their ceremony took place at Saint Paul Catholic Church, where they had their marriage blessed by God followed by their reception at The Westin Tampa Bay. The sunlight poured in on them and their guests as they were treated to and incredible sunset view.

Congratulation’s Amanda + Kelly on your ‘Happily Ever After!’
