Megan + Matthew Step Into The Limelight | Lido Beach Resort | Sarasota, FL

Surrounded by friends, family and love these two families became together in the midst of a lighthearted and fun ambiance.  Megan and Matthew met back on October 24, 2014. Their first date was to Handles Ice Cream shop in their hometown of Fishers, IN. Their second date was to the Indianapolis Zoo.  

According to Matt he proposed “very extravagantly” 😉. He proposed in front of the soldiers and sailors monument in Indianapolis, IN with all of their friends and family around. The bride’s best friends (Cristina and Michelle) took Megan on a scavenger hunt that ended at the monument. Cristina got Megan and Michelle lost in the middle of downtown Indianapolis on the way to the monument, in the pouring rain with a dead cell phone. But thankfully all worked out in the end! 

What do you love about each other? {In their own words…}
Matt loves about Megan:

  • She’s always thinking about others and putting others first

  • Great person, great friend

  • Puts up with my annoying and goody behavior

Megan loves about Matt:

  • Selfless, caring, loving

  • Will give everything he has if it will help someone else

  • His desire to make the world a better place (police officer, soldier in the army) 

  • His love and passion

  • Goofy, never takes life too seriously 

Together they enjoy playing with their “fur babies” Cooper (dog) and Niko (cat), going out to eat at new restaurants, double dates with Cristina and Spencer, exploring zoos and aquariums in different cities and spending time with families and friends.

Megan’s love for the ocean and her dream of getting married on the beach inspired their search for the perfect wedding venue. Megan’s grandparents live in the Sarasota area and that is how they discovered Lido Beach Resort.  Their classy, yet casual wedding was a  little bit country with ocean vibes. They brought their home town in Indiana to the beach by with incorporating country music and sunflowers in the decor.

Lisa + Ryan Step Into The Limelight | Powel Crosley Estate | Sarasota, FL

Lisa and Ryan met in a very modern way in 2012 through a dating app. They love everything about each other and together enjoy going to movies, playing with their dogs, hanging out with friends and going on vacations. On Christmas Day, Ryan surprised Lisa by giving her one last present to open…Lisa thought they they were earrings she had asked for - but it was an engagement ring! ❤️

They love historical things as well as beautiful locations so the gorgeous Powel Crosley was the perfect setting to get married! Their wedding colors (burgundy and navy) were selected because the bride’s favorite color is red and the groom’s is blue. Their day was filled with very happy guests surrounded by love and the focus was truly on their union as they married each other and became ONE!
