Congratulations Rochelle + Nirmel! The love you have for Jesus and each other is precious to witness. We loved being a part of your wedding day! It was so beautiful to see the traditions of both sides of your family - Filipino + Indian

Rochelle and Nirmel’s Christian faith is a huge part of their wedding and their love for God. God’s design of their marriage is very important them and how they are to mirror the image of how God Loves his people. Rochelle and Nirmel met at church over the summer of 2015, and he proposed at a picnic at the park. Together they enjoy going for walks in the park, trying new foods, exploring new cities, and talking a lot of God and the Bible. They like to think about what they can do for other people.

In Nirmel’s own words… “I love his gentleness, emotional intelligence, and that he loves kids, and he is easy going.”

In Rochelle’s own words… “I love that she is very sweet, I love how gentle and kind, I love her ambition and go-getter personality. I love how she is easy to talk to I love her creative mind and she is adventurous.”

Their romantic garden wedding had the perfect backdrop of the Vinoy. They love how the historic feel meets elegance and set the perfect stage for a traditional, floral romantic garden style wedding.

Their love for the Lord was a central part of the ceremony. Everyone felt like they were on vacation the weekend they were here. The wedding was a breath of fresh air!

It was exciting to see Rochelle and Nirmel’s families combine her Filipino and his Indian culture and heritage through their décor, the ceremony and the cultural dances. The end result was everyone present felt loved, special, safe, and relaxed.

Ina first met John while finishing her internship at Palmetto General Hospital. Though John did not notice Ina during this time, he definitely left quite the impression on her. Sadly, their timing was not right and Ina's internship came to an end sending them both on separate ways. Fast forward a couple of months when Ina was offered a job at Palmetto and where John was still working on his fellowship. This time, however, their timing was perfect and with a little help from some friends, a relationship began between the two. They were both crazy about each other and knew they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together and so John asked Ina the question in front of a million people (which she hated) and she said yes. Now the two live together in Tampa along their two crazy, but loving puppies, Red and Blue.

We could not have asked for a more beautiful weekend! The deeply rooted and serene ceremony at Nativity Catholic Church was intimate and honorable. Then on Saturday, the feeling all around was warm and comforting with family & friends and the most perfectly decorated venue at Cross Creek Ranch with touches of dusty pink elegance with a modern rustic chic feel.

Ina & John are a delight to be around… they live life to the fullest and their dancing shoes are on ALL DAY!

Andreina is from Venezuela, so you know the party was on! So.Much.Fun. indeed! Along with so many memorable moments, like the First Look on the “love” bridge, First Dances and the time when the Best Man said “ I’ve know John since kindergarten”, such a cherished friendship. This will be a night to remember for us.

Thank you for having us Andreina & John. We wish you ALL the best life can bring. Viva la vida!
