CHARLEY + CHRIS STEP INTO THE LIMELIGHT | GULF DRIVE CAFE | BRADENTON BEACH, FL

We are always so blessed on having such beautiful and great weddings as the year wraps up and this is certainly a couple that made our end of the year a greta one!

A Love Story from our Bride:

“I met Chris on my 18th birthday, May 28 2011. I was going on my first ever tandem skydive with my mom for my birthday. After we landed I spotted Chris sitting with all his gear on (he just started solo jumping had about 50 jumps). Since I was feeling spunky on my birthday I decided to hit on him with the corniest pick up line.... "I've been looking for you my whole life!" I've used the pickup line before but it never worked, but it definitely did with Chris! At the time, he had a girlfriend which was a big let down, but after 1 year later I received a message from him. From then on we have been together!”

“We were in Switzerland and he wingsuit base jumped off a mountain while I waited for him on the ground below. When he landed, he got down on one knee and asked me if I would spend the rest of my life with him.”

This couple is truly one of the most adventurous and most daring and they enjoy spending time together on this incredible ventures!

They day of their wedding was definitely quite the thrill ride with great moments, genuine funny and laughable moments and of course the sweet ones too! Even though the weather was a little rough, these two love birds said their I-Do’s on the beach, with the wind embracing them and the rain sprinkling down blessings from the heavens. The reception came around and these two soulmates would loose themselves within each other’s arms - especially during their first dance!

What an amazing night we had and as always, it was such an honor to be a part of this little adventure that will last a life time. Congrats Charley and Chris!!!
