Nicki & Mike :: 9-15-12 :: Wedding in Long Beach

So now for every anniversary, they celebrate with soup. :) This wedding was very unique because it was....on the water! They got married on gondolas in the Long Beach/Naples harbor at Gondola Getaway and then had their reception at Alfredo's just next door on the beach. It was such a wonderful night celebrating their love for one another in very personal and special ways. Mike, who is a musician, had never played for Nicki before and wrote a song for her that he performed at the reception. He sang, "We're gonna get married and we're gonna be happy!"
