Our Wedding

April and Eric met in 2015. April was a journalist and Eric was in fine jewelry sales. Since then, there have been multiple career changes and relocations. From Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, to Austin, Texas, to Brownsville, Texas, back to Saint Thomas, and finally, to Washington D.C. in 2019 to pursue April’s law school dream. April and Eric love exploring the world’s cultures and places, but their favorite place is their living room couch, watching TV reruns with their two dogs, Leia and Marceline. They’ve grown together and went through a lot. Miraculously, they haven’t gotten tired of each other (yet!). For April and Eric, the marriage has been happening. They’re just lucky enough to hold this wedding where they can thank and share their joy with family and friends.

A full & simple life…

Venue & Accommodations

Miami has no shortage of entertainment—from pristine beaches to rich culture, vibrant art scene to a spirited nightlife.

Miami is home to some of America’s most beautiful beaches. Take a swim or just hang out and have a drink (or three!).

Hit the Beaches

Disney World in Orlando, the largest Disney park in the world, is a three-hour drive from Miami and definitely worth the visit. We personally love the new-ish Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge section, but there’s so much more on offer for kids of all ages! You can also hop on over to nearby Universal Orlando for some Harry Potter action.

Visit Magical Disney World

Make Miami’s shimmering blue waters your playground. You can sail, paddleboard, jet ski or parasail the skies, and bring home memories to last forever.

Water Sports Galore

From the Everglades to the Miami Zoo, Florida’s wildlife is on full display and you get a chance to get up close and personal. (Not too close to the gators though!)

Encounter the Local Fauna

Take in a fantastic view of Miami by hopping on a sunset cruise on Biscayne Bay. You get a premium view of the Miami skyline, Millionaires Row, Port of Miami, & Downtown Miami!

Take A Romantic Sunset Cruise

Head on over to the Wynwood Art District, Miami’s creative art hub, or to the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in Downtown Miami to catch a touring Broadway show, or its resident companies, including the Miami City Ballet, Florida Grand Opera and the New World Symphony.

Registry

To have you at the wedding is the most we can ask for so we don’t have a registry. If you do wish to give in honor of the occasion, we ask you to consider donating to a charitable cause or organization of your choice. We have included some organizations below, all located in the U.S. Virgin Islands, where we met. Much love, April & Eric

Your presence is the best gift.
