Tori + Derek Step Into The Limelight | The Florida Aquarium | Tampa, FL

“A love like the sea, endless, deep and completely unique”

Tori and Derek met at a local country bar in 2014 but didn’t connect again until a year later at a mutual friend’s birthday party. Derek ended up driving Tori home that night and they have been inseparable ever since.

Years later,Tori and Derek were with their families on a camping trip at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground and Resort. One night, Derek told Tori they were going to watch the fireworks at the Grand Floridian. Instead of heading to the beach,Derek surprisedTori with a ride on the Grand OneYacht.TheYacht anchored down right in front of the Cinderella castle and three minutes into the fireworks, Derek got down on one knee.Their families cheered as Tori said yes! How magical is that?! .

“We complement each other with our personalities in a good way.We love that we enjoy doing all the same things and miss each other when we are not together. I love the way he provides for me and always keeps me safe. He loves me for my kindness and loyalty.We have built a relationship on trust and believe that’s key to happiness”

Tori and Derek tied the knot in front of a few sea friends (and a couple more human friends) at The Florida Aquarium. It was a magical evening and we loved being a part of this couple’s special day!
