DESTINY + EDDIE

Can true love blossom sight unseen?

For Destiny and Eddie, being set up on a blind date by a pair of their friends led to lifelong love! After a year and a half of dating, Eddie popped the question through a cute scavenger hunt with close friends and family incorporating all of the places that had meaning to them.

Their wedding was, in Destiny’s words: “a modern-day fairytale.” The couple’s dreamy black and whitethemed nuptials were set in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, at the luxurious Crystal Ballroom BeachPlace venue. Designed by Lux Lifestyle Events LLC and captured by REEM Photography, their wedding featured a live violinist, a unique bride and groom photo shoot, and a grand reception room reveal.

“It was just beyond magical,” Destiny shares. “I would not have envisioned our wedding any other way and it was perfect.”
