Victorian Wedding on Sand Key Beach


Congratulations Elizabeth and Andy!  The wedding of Elizabeth Churchward and Andy Smith took place on Sand Key Beach just before sunset, officiated by Rev. Terri Hutchins of LovingUnity.com   The bride entered to music intertwined with the breezes and the call of the gulls, providing the perfect background for the wedding and procession.  Three barefoot flowergirls tiptoed through the sand in off white petticoats detailed with gold brocade. They each carried a basket of rose petals.    Elizabeth's sons, Liam and Kayne followed and served as the ring bearers, wearing black tuxedos and serious faces as they carefully carried their golden cargo on white silk pillows. 

The bride's dad escorted her through the sand. She was wearing a victorian style, off-white long dress, and presented her mother and soon to be mother in law with a small bouquet of flowers as she made her way toward the groom.  Andy waited for his bride with a huge grin on his face, standing inside a giant heart shape in the sand.  Andy looked dashing  in a victorian suit.

Elizabeth and Andy shared vows they had written themselves, and it was touching that he not only vowed to love and cherish Elizabeth, but also to love and respect Kayne and Liam as his own.  They exchanged rings and shared a kiss, and they were pronounced husband and wife just as the sun dipped into the gulf waters.
