Real Wedding | Krista + Justin at the Ritz Carlton Beach Club in Lido Key
Today’s post is written by beautiful bride, Krista. She and Justin were married on February 19th at the Ritz Carlton Beach Club in Lido Key, Florida.
Everyone @ our wedding was visiting from out of town, so we got to enjoy 3 days of vacation with all our friends and family. The girl in the grooms party is actually Justin’s favorite cousin, Carey. She was the “best person,” the co best man with Justin’s brother. They are really close, so it was really special to him to have her be there.
We kicked off the weekend with a sunset cruise complete with a Jimmy Buffett impersonator and got to enjoy a beautiful sunset. The day of our wedding was stormy and super windy, but the sun came out just as we arrived at the beach and we were able to have the beach wedding we were looking forward to for the 2 years we were engaged. Cocktails followed and then everyone enjoyed dinner and a fabulous band on the terrace overlooking the beach.
We had our own after party, and we kept the party going till 2 am. On the last bus to the hotel, our guests had a rousing sing a long to “Country Roads” by John Denver. It was pretty awesome. My favorite aspect of the weekend was having so many friends and family all in one place. We had guests (and one of the maids of honor) come from as far as Paris, and it was so incredible to have everyone we love altogether.
It was an awesome wedding weekend, definitely everything we wanted it to be and more!
