A Glamorous Florida Aquarium Wedding | Dana + Justin
Love stories often start in the most unexpected ways, and for Dana and Justin it all began with a simple click on Facebook Dating. What started as online introductions quickly grew into something real and undeniable. Dana shared that from the very beginning, Justin’s kindness and authenticity made her feel at ease. Her anxiety melted away in his presence, and she just knew (without hesitation) that he was her forever person.
Their proposal story was equally unforgettable. Less of a fairytale and more of a hilarious “business negotiation,” it perfectly captured their playful personalities. Dana joked that if Justin had more time, he would’ve created a PowerPoint presentation to seal the deal. That lighthearted spirit and genuine connection carried beautifully into their wedding day.
Choosing the Florida Aquarium in Tampa as their venue felt like the perfect fit. Both Dana and Justin loved the idea of doing something different, and the aquatic backdrop set the stage for a wedding that was both unique and glamorous. From vibrant marine life to the possibility of penguins joining the festivities, their celebration felt like a true adventure.
The couple described their theme as “simple yet glam”: a balance that paired beautifully with the aquarium’s modern architecture and natural beauty. Guests were invited into an atmosphere that was relaxed, inclusive, and filled with joy.
For Dana and Justin, simply being inside the aquarium surrounded by their loved ones was a highlight. They especially looked forward to their first kiss and watching their guests dance the night away. Dana’s stepmom was even hoping to swim with the sharks, another testament to this couple’s adventurous spirit.
Every wedding is memorable in its own way, but Dana and Justin’s Florida Aquarium wedding stood out for its mix of elegance, fun, and unforgettable experiences. From the lighthearted love story that brought them together to the under-the-sea setting of their big day, their celebration was a true reflection of who they are as a couple.
