Leap Day Wedding- What if you only had a wedding anniversary every 4 years?

Leap Day Wedding- What if you only had a wedding anniversary every 4 years?

News

Andrew contacted me about having a wedding ceremony on February 29th= Leap Day wedding! Andrew and his fiancé, Jennifer, were traveling from New York and spending a few days in Florida.  They wanted a simple beautiful wedding ceremony on a Florida beach. Whether it’s a small elopement or a large wedding ceremony, I love helping out of town couples make their wedding plans come together. I suggested they have their Florida wedding at sunset on Sand Key Park in Clearwater and they loved that idea.

Andrew and Jennifer were married at sunset on February 29th at Sand Key Park. They wanted to have a unique day for their wedding and one they will both always remember. Since February 29 only happens every four years they will only have an anniversary every four years.  “When we are married 50 years we would have only had 12 wedding anniversaries,” said Jennifer. It was a beautiful sunset evening for their wedding ceremony. Jennifer had a brother attend the wedding and he skyped other family members who couldn’t be present.

Andrew and Jennifer met on Plentyoffish dating website a few years ago. I could see they have a lot of fun together and were so happy to be getting married. They were both very pleased  and thanked me for officiating a great ceremony.

Ken & Solveiga were married on Thursday. I officiated their Sand Key Park wedding ceremony and George Sr. took pictures. Ken & Solveiga were visiting Florida from Norway. They were staying in Orlando and wanted to be married at sunset on the beach. Ken wanted our Tampa Elopement Wedding Package #3 . He asked me for my suggestions for a nice beach to have ceremony at sunset. He said he wanted something Florida themed maybe with a surf board or something like that.  I recommended they have a Sand Key Park Clearwater wedding ceremony and he agreed. He called me when they arrived in United States to confirm;  they were SO excited. He said it was 5 below when he left Norway so they were loving the Florida weather.

On day of their Sand Key Park Clearwater wedding ceremony we had picture perfect weather. It was a nice temperature with some cool wind. We typically don’t have surfers at the beach in Pinellas County, but we had enough wind that day that a number of surfers were out on the beach.

I made a pretty rose pedal heart in the sand and had them stand it for the ceremony. George Sr was doing photos.

Solveiga was so emotional when saying her vows that she just burst out crying and couldn’t compose herself. I had them hug while she pulled herself together then continued on with the ceremony. They were such a happy loving couple. After the ceremony George Sr was taking photos and noticed a surfer just putting his board down and kind of watching us. George politely asked the surfer if we could use his board for a few photographs explaining that our couple from Norway were just married and would love it for a few photos. The surfer gladly let us use the board…and he even took a few photos himself– everyone loves a wedding 🙂

Ken e-mailed me this morning and thanked me for a few of the photos that I sent him right away.  He said, “We are thrilled about your service and thanks for the beautiful pictures!”
