The Ritz Carlton Wedding in Amelia Island, Florida: Sharon + Brian: The Bridal Suite

Sharon and her bride’s babes got ready on site. We had a super fun champagne pop and the ladies cheers’d Sharon before getting ready. Sharon’s mom and Bridesmaids helped her get into her dress and put on her accessories. Sharon gave Molly, the super cute adorable and best-behaved flower girl (I feel like I can say that if you’ve ever met my wild kids) this cute little frog box. The story behind it was that when Sharon was younger, and a flower girl in her cousins’ wedding, the bride gave her a little frog ring box, with a promise that one day that frog would turn into a prince charming…and my heart melted on the floor right there.

Sharon and Brian were married at an elegant Catholic Church in downtown Amelia Island. Sharon looked absolutely stunning as she walked down the aisle to meet her future husband. Brian was overcome with emotion and love…he may have shed a tear or 200. The couple was married by a very fun and funny Priest. It was absolutely perfect!

The Ritz Carlton Wedding in Amelia Island, Florida: Sharon + Brian: Dad’s Speech

This speech gets it’s own entire paragraph and photos. THIS SPEECH! I was CRYING! WOW! Sharon’s father has such an extraordinary bond with his daughter. He spoke about trying to intimidate Brian, who is an Army Ranger, and how much it meant to him that these two have found each other.

Sharon’s father also gave his daughter and incredible gift. He had been writing in a journal to Sharon since she was a little girl and he gave the journal to her as a gift on her wedding day. Now I’m tearing up…take notes other dad’s out there.
