Maryann + Michael Step Into The Limelight | Palma Ceia Golf & Country Club | Tampa, FL

Maryann and Michael have a true “puppy love” love story…they met all the way back in kindergarten at the tender age of five years old. Michael proposed at Christmas in 2018 in front of Maryann’s family. Together they share a love of music, food, wine, hockey, going to the beach and traveling. It is a joy to see the compassion they have not only for each other, but for their friends and family; and to witness their shared sense of humor.

Their Rustic, English Garden Cocktail Party was romantic, stress-free, fun and memorable. All guests felt warmly welcomed, entertained, happy and comfortable  Maryann and Michael enjoyed celebrating their future together with their families.

Shelby + Kyle Step Into The Limelight | Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort | Clearwater Beach, FL

(Sweet) Shelby & (Hugger) Kyle met their senior year at Purdue University. Shelby worked as the athletic trainer for the Women's Volleyball team and Kyle played as a practice player. Kyle would fake injuries in order to talk to Shelby and get her attention. Shelby would stay professional and was clueless that Kyle was interested in her. Two months later, Shelby saw Kyle out at a bar, and he had Arby's sandwiches. Kyle offered Shelby a sandwich and they have been together ever since.

Kyle proposed on New Years Eve at 9:00PM (12/31/17) in The Villages, FL. They were out dancing in the town square with Shelby's parents. When the band wrapped up, Kyle got down on one knee and proposed. The band saw the commotion and pulled back out their instruments. They called them both on stage and played Buddy Holly's "True Love Ways" as they danced.

Shelby loves Kyle fun-loving personality and the fact that he can always make her laugh. He has taught her to not take life so seriously and to enjoy the little things in life. She loves his ambition and how he always goes above and beyond expectations. Kyle will always go out of his way to try and make someones day. 

Kyle loves that Shelby is such a kind, loving, generous, athletic, and sweet person. What's not to love! She is always there to put a big smile on his face, and always knows how to pick him up. She's extremely supportive in his my crazy ideas, and he knows she will always be by my side.

They both enjoy hiking, traveling, wine-tasting, and cheering on the Purdue Boilermakers.

Uncle Toby officiated their wedding, and cousin Jeff played the guitar as they walked down the aisle.  We could not has dreamed of a more perfect wedding day for Shelby & Kyle. Every moment was gracious and oh so sweet. The ultimate goal was a beautiful destination wedding to celebrate their love with close friends and family ending with one big party. Success!

Shelby & Kyle… you both are in for a treat! Life together is the BEST! Enjoy it all 💕

Postcard Inn Unveils New Locals Destination for Coffee and Dining

Grand opening of coffee shop, lobby bar, retail space, and expanding beach bar signals end of resort’s $4.8 million transformation

St. Pete Beach, FL. – May 3, 2019– The beautiful beaches of S. Pinellas has  new offerings for visitors and locals alike with the addition of PS Grind, Stamps, and the retail space on Gulf Blvd.  redeveloped by the owners of the property – TPG Hotels and Resorts.

May 17th from 9am until late, the Postcard Inn on the Beach will be celebrating the new offerings with all who chose to join in on the celebration.  The official ribbon cutting takes place at 9:15am with the Tampa Bay Beaches Chamber of Commerce.  P.S. Grind will offer free drip coffee and tastings of pastries and more.  Live entertainment, raffles and free giveaways planned throughout the day.  Free Parking while the spots last, one can spend the whole day enjoying all that the property has to offer.  Pool passes for the day, a free beach bbq with grilled hot dogs and hamburgers from noon until 1:30pm.  Half off all menus from open until close.  LocalShops1 is setting up a market in the beautiful garden area from noon until 5pm featuring local art, clothing, and more.  This is a teaser to launch the new night market beginning in June on the property.

PS Grind, featuring Kahwa coffee, has been designed with the locals in mind.  To start, there will be parking allocated to locals to swing by and grab their favorite brew and a bite to eat without having to pay for parking.  The open dining space will flow into the lobby space, allowing one to find a comfortable nook to read while sipping or munching on a pastry or salad.  If open air is what you’re looking for, you can step out to the balcony looking over the gorgeous green spaces facing the beautiful sandy beaches on the Gulf.  WiFi is available; guests plug in and relax while sipping on the best local brew with a view.  

Along with PS Grind, Postcard Inn is developing Stamps, a welcoming space that will feature bistro dining with amazing signature dishes and cocktails.  The prices are accommodating for almost any budget.  

As you walk outdoors from the lobby near the gorgeous pool area with new outdoor furnishings, you’ll see the new large tiki bar with a beach inspired food menu and additional seating.

Jillaina + Scott Step Into The Limelight | Lakewood Ranch Golf & Country Club | Lakewood Ranch, FL

We had the wonderful opportunity to be a part of Jillaina and Scott’s special day. Scott lives in Iowa, and Jill lives in Tampa. They happened to have some mutual friends that live in Tampa, and on January 19, 2013 Scott came to town celebrate a birthday of our mutual friend. They met that night - He saw Jill across the room and came running over to say hello. He asked if she would join him for dinner the next day, and Jill politely declined with no interest in getting involved romantically.

The next day, their mutual friend and asked her if she would like to join her for dinner. Jill said yes, and when she got to the restaurant none of her friends were there! But Scott was... they tricked her into having dinner with him. The dinner led into late night bowling, and one of the most fun and perfect nights they’ve ever had. The love was instant, and has never faded!

On the day Scott proposed to Jillaina, Scott took Jill back to the place they had their first dinner and bowling together to recreate their first date. He then asked her to marry him and Jill said yes!

Their wedding day was gorgeous! Glitter, glitz, glam, fun, food, and lots of activities. The venue dripped in crystals and sparkles! From their ceremony site, to the reception hall, everything had glitter, rose gold and just the right touch of sparkle. It was truly a day to remember!

Lacie + Wilson Step Into The Limelight | Marco Beach Ocean Resort | Marco Beach, FL

Lacie + Wilson’s story began ten years ago while they were still in high school.They officially met at a local pizza place named “Vito’s” and after speaking, they discovered that they both enjoy the same things in life. They love their family, surfing, going to the beach, traveling and now as an established couple, they love being parents to their sweet dog named “Tuna.”

Since they both have a love for the ocean, Wilson knew it was the best place to propose to Lacie. To surprise her, Wilson took Lacie on a routine date to their favorite coffee shop on Wrightsville Beach. Once they got their coffee he brought her to a special location where he had written out “will you marry me” in sea shells! <3

After saying yes, and as the wedding planning process began, Lacie + Wilson decided that they wanted a destination wedding. They decided on Marco Beach Ocean Resort and they absolutely loved it! On their wedding day Lacie + Wilson were surrounded by their very large group of close friends and family who helped shape them into the human beings they are today.

Lacie + Wilson are such a sincere couple, I could tell how much their family and friends felt appreciated and loved.

Congratulations on becoming husband and wife!
