Shari and Brett's Sand Key Florida Beach Wedding

Shari and Brett are from Ohio. Shari contacted us back in January - she was freezing in the cold Ohio winter and had dreams of a sunny and warm Florida beach wedding in June.

In working with Shari and Brett to plan their wedding, we really felt like we got to know them a little, and Shari even shared her engagement story and pictures with us for this post:

We both work in the school district - I'm a secretary and he is our district resource officer and a policeman with the city. On the last day of school before winter break last December, he called me on the phone in my office and told me to meet him out front of our building. He said he had coffee for me but that he needed to rush to the high school for an issue with a student - he didn't have time to walk it in to me.

As I walked toward the front door of the building I could see his strobes flashing on his cruiser...still on the cell phone with him, I said, "What's going on out front, do you have someone pulled over?" He said, "Just hurry up, I need to get going." So I hung up and walked out the door...

There in front of the building were 3 police cruisers parked facing me with their strobes all flashing. Brett was standing behind the door of the middle cruiser and he announced on the PA of the car, "You know I love you don't you? And I want to spend the rest of my life with you...will you marry me?"

Of course I said yes! He gave me a beautiful ring and a bouquet of pink roses. I was TOTALLY surprised. I thought he was going to ask me over Christmas, so I wasn't surprised that he asked, but that he GOT ME!! HE SURPRISED ME!! I turned around and all the teachers were behind me cheering. Then, I heard kids cheering and I looked toward the end of the parking lot and there were all the first and second graders cheering for us. It was SO SPECIAL and SO MUCH FUN!

Shari and Brett were married on June 10th on the beautiful white sands of Sand Key Beach Park near Clearwater Beach, Florida. They opted for our bamboo arch, white chairs for their guests, recorded music, and a wireless microphone for their ceremony. Their wedding photography was provided by Jason, Trent performed their ceremony, and they incorporated their children into the sand unity ceremony.

Most importantly, Shari got to realize her dream of warm weather, white sand, and a stunning sunset for a perfect Florida beach wedding!
