Kat + Alex: Gorgeous Wedding in Paradise
Katharina Rimac & Alex Panas met in the early 2000's at a wedding, and stayed in touch through many Morris Rugby events and parties. Throughout those years, they stayed in contact, but remained friends. Towards the end of 2011, they reconnected and have been inseparable and incredibly happy ever since!
After dating for a few years, Kat thought of it as any other date night, but it became so much more than that. Alex read a poem that he had written for her capturing all the perfect moments they've shared before proposing to her! It was a perfect moment in their lives. With their love of the beach and the ocean, and both being certified scuba divers, Kat and Alex have found a perfect spot to celebrate their love....in paradise.
While on vacation last year in Key West trying to evacuate from Hurricane Irma, the couple decided to get married at the Southernmost House! They met Michael, the owner of the house, during this time and ultimately found the perfect place to get married! On June 30th, 2018, they exchanged vows oceanside among their closest friends and family members. The pop of white florals by Karro Events against the pastel colors of the house and bright blue skies was as pretty as the Key West Sunset. Kat and Alex opted for an emotional First Look and exchanged gifts before their first dance. The tear that ran down the groom's face was undeniably sweet. They are soul mates and anyone who witnesses this would agree.
The details included by the couple like their Mel Fisher wedding bands and a custom cheeseburger in paradise cake made for a perfect Key West wedding. Their island wedding day was perfectly filled with laughter, dancing, and even more cheeseburgers in paradise!
Congratulations to the beautiful couple!
