Tia & Richard - Destination Family!

Tia & Richard had an intimate ceremony on the beach at the Marco Island Marriott. Kristen Moody and her amazing staff gave great service even to this very small group of 10. Orginally planned as a boat trip out to an island, plans were changed last minute due to uncooperative waters.

With tiki torches, orchids and rose petals adorning the ceremony area, and surrounded by their children and Richard's parents, Tia & Richard were married by Kelly Haglund Werder, The Wedding Navigator wedding planner and officiant. Kelly's new husband Todd assisted with a wedding for the first time and got to see a bit of Kelly's world.

Shari Bare was on hand to photograph the event (Shari's photos coming soon - for now enjoy photos by Kelly).

Tia posted a comment not too long ago about her wedding:
