We are now back home in Boston following an incredible wedding week and honeymoon in South Beach. Originally posted this under the South Florida board, but adding it here since we had such a wonderful experience. Everyone involved embraced us (two brides from Massachusetts) with open arms, and we feel truly blessed! Wish all of you out there the same experience! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thank you to all the AMAZING teams of people who worked so hard to realize our dream!! Nothing but rave reviews all around...
