Chandler and Gavin chose Seaside, Florida for their destination wedding because Gavin actually proposed to Chandler on a family trip to Seaside! Chandler's family had been vacationing to the beach town for years, and Gavin had developed a love for the town as well. He knew that it would be the perfect spot to propose to Chandler, and later, the perfect spot for the two to say their vows! Gavin wore his father's wedding ring, while a special flower sat next to his mother and his sisters lit candles in his honor. We told the story of their weekend through happy moments, moving speeches, and several Seaside scenics. We had so much fun working with some our favorite wedding vendors in one of our favorite locations!

“From the Bride: “We got engaged in Seaside! Of course, everyone knew but me (the bride). Fourth of July weekend my parents, brother, Gavin’s mom and the two of us went for the holiday. The night we got in, we went to grab a drink before dinner at Wine World in Watercolor (one of our faves) before walking back on the beach. He got down on one knee at sunset and proposed.””
