MACKENZIE + JIMMY STEP INTO THE LIMELIGHT | SANDPEARL RESORT | CLEARWATER, FL
A Mid-Summer Night’s Dream
Mackenzie and Jimmy met at Miami University of Ohio their Freshman Year. They dated long distance for four years and then moved in together. They have now been together for almost 10 years. They love one another's sense of humor, morals, and family values. They have gone through many life events together and have been able to grow and adapt with one another. They truly are best friends. 💛
This sweet couple had plans to go to a Frank Sinatra concert, but Jimmy plays ice hockey and he tore his ACL. Jimmy had to improvise on his proposal plan when he came home for surgery. They went to the Cincinnati Newport Aquarium with Jimmy on crutches. But that did not stop him from getting down on one knee - even in a brace - and proposing! They love penguins and Mackenzie used to work at a zoo so it was a perfect location to make this memory!
Together they enjoy hanging with their dogs Ollie and Bruno, going to Concerts, artsy stuff, sports, traveling and trying new restaurants.
This destination wedding truly was two people bringing many family dynamics together in one place! So many family members and friends came from all over the place to celebrate Mackenzie and Jimmy making a life long commitment to each other. The classic, romantic beach style shimmered with white, blush, gold, champagne and hints of pink colors.
A lot of happy tears flowed as Mackenzie and Jimmy saw each other for the first time as Kenzie walked down the aisle, and Paul gave Kenzie away to Jimmy.
After the ceremony, guests relaxed and kicked into party mode as they danced the night away!
