Tradewinds Island Grand Resort Wedding - Monica & John

Monica and John picked the Tradewinds Island Grand Resort for their wedding, which is a wonderful hotel. Not only do they have a great staff, I think they also have almost every amenity that you can imagine right on their property! I met Monica almost a year ago as she was planning her wedding and she has the sunniest personality that really lights up the room! Besides planning for their wedding, she is also in her residency to become a doctor. She is one busy person! John is a firefighter and I think they make the best couple!! They both had their best friends in their wedding party and the rooms were filled with laughter while everyone was getting ready. John had his brother as a groomsmen along with his firefighter friends which are like brothers to him. Monica’s parents both walked her down the aisle and John was just BEAMING when he saw his bride. After the ceremony we had some time for images on the beach. What a sunset!! The reception started with the amazing band C-Nergy. They really had the dance floor going all night too!! EVERYONE had such a great time and I think they will talk about Monica & John’s wedding for many years. As the night came to end, the guests went outside to send our couple off with a sparkler exit. I thought is was funny that one of their friends brought out a fire extinguisher for their grand exit. They are firefighters after all and you can never be too safe!!! Thank you Monica & John for your service to our community and I wish you the best in your marriage!!
