Three blind mice, three little pigs, three stooges, three wisemen, three chipmunks, three amigos, and third time’s the charm! Great things come in threes, it seems, and newlyweds Emily and Devin Mooneyhan will be the first to tell you that their three-times rescheduled wedding turned out to be just perfect. “I am from Michigan, Devin is from Florida, and we met in San Francisco,” Emily Swift Monneyhan explains. “When it came time to pick a wedding location, we finally narrowed it down to Michigan or Florida.” Devin adds that Amelia Island won out for its amazing reviews, location near a major airport for the ease of travel, and of course, its incredible wedding venues and natural beauty. “When we saw the photos of weddings at Oyster Bay Yacht Club, we knew this was it,” shares Emily. 20 AMELIA ISLAND WEDDINGS
“Oyster Bay provides a stunning environment for a wedding event,” says Wedding and Events Manager Ashton Hunter. “The marshview ceremony location is set among cascading canopy oaks draped in Spanish moss, providing the perfect backdrop for the place to say your ‘I do’s!’ And in keeping with the rustic beauty of its surroundings, the clubhouse has a casual yet elegant ambience.” Emily and Devin had to push off their wedding ceremony twice due to Covid-19 concerns. In September 2020, the couple decided to make the trip to Amelia Island despite the pandemic, and they exchanged vows in front of a small, intimate gathering. Then, almost to the day one year later, they gathered on the front lawn of Oyster Bay Yacht Club and said “I do” one more time in a celebration filled with family and friends.
