We were fortunate enough to be a part of another fabulous wedding at LaPlaya in Naples. This couple has a special place in our hearts and we became very good friends with them. Chad and Katie both attended the University of Florida at the same time but never met. They had mutual friends but never knew of each other. Chad moved to Naples right after Graduation in ’06 but Katie didn’t graduate till ’08. Her job took her to Naples where she only knew one couple (who happened to be a mutual friend from UF). The couple tried to introduce Chad and Katie a few times in about two years but it never worked out! Finally, the day had arrived. They were both single and the couple they knew, JP and Kelly, were throwing a huge party. The moment Chad and Katie saw each other they knew… Spent the whole night talking and watching the gators play while enjoying beer pong and food. They got each other’s numbers and then he called the following day. After their second date, they were officially together and never spent a single night apart. For their wedding venue, Katie and Chad picked LaPlaya because of its boutique feel and the front lawn. They looked at many places but could not get La Playa off their minds! It was their dream getting married on the front lawn of this beautiful resort overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. It was so incredible and emotional…every moment was perfect…down to the moment the family did the “Dougie” on the dance floor! We hope you all enjoy this video recap of that Magical Day!
