Rick and Stephanie met after being set up on a blind date by Rick's cousin Jeff and one of Stephanie's friends.  We were both presently surprised when we met that night...it didn't take long to realize we were perfect for one another.  

After dating for a few years, we went on a romantic trip to the Florida Keys, watched beautiful sunsets and rode our bicycles through the streets of Key West. Shortly after our vacation to the Keys we decided we couldn't live without each other and started making plans for our future.

In April, Rick planned the most amazing proposal.   We sailed to Anclote Key near Clearwater Beach, Florida to watch the sunset. As we were walking along the shoreline, we "found" a message in a bottle.  We were excited and anxious to open the bottle and read the love story that was inside... the note was OUR love story and ended with "Will you marry me?

Our wedding will be held on October 17, 2015 at the Dreams Resort in Tulum on the  most beautiful beach in Mexico.  

The ceremony will begin just before sunset at 4pm.  

Cocktail hour will be held after the wedding and a private dinner near the pool deck will follow. 

Carrie Willard from the travel agency, Travel Plex, will be happy to help make your reservations to travel to Tulum, Mexico to join us for our beautiful day.  Feel free to contact her at (636) 397-2100. 

Rick and Stephanie will be arriving on Wednesday, October 14, 2014 and will be moving to another resort near by on Monday, October 19.  We plan to stay in the Riviera Maya area through Saturday, October 24th.
