Alexis and Ward met living in St Petersburg during COVID. Alexis bought a house in Shore Acres and Ward was staying with a friend who also lived in Shore Acres! They started dating and the rest is history! They moved back to New York after dating and currently reside there. They wanted to celebrate their love and say I do in the city where they met! They ended up booking Sunken Gardens, located downtown St Pete. They had a chic garden inspired wedding, celebrated in spring at one of St Pete’s iconic wedding venues!
