Ian and Jacquelynn chose Bay Preserve at Osprey for their fall wedding. She personalized every detail of the day. From her black wedding dress to her wood flower bouquet, it was elegant and original. The men looked handsome in their tuxes and emerald green bowties. They finished getting ready at the estate and stayed inside while the guests arrived. Finally, it was time to start, and they Jacquelynn was walked down the aisle by her father. With smiles and joy, the bride and groom said, “I DO” and started their lives together.
