Ron and Karla, I don't even know where to begin! True love, kind hearts, gentle spirits? These are two of the most amazing people, if you ever have the chance to get to know them.
And on top of all of that, when it came to their wedding....
They know how to THROW a party!!!!
They were together eight years, all while Karla was wondering when Ron would propose. His answer, being the funny guy he is, to anyone who asked was, "When I win the lottery, I will propose."
Well, he did just that! Last December, he won the lottery!
Ron stuck to his guns as a man of his word and proposed to the woman he loved!!!
At Whalen Creative Group, our job was to take Ron's, Florida Gators themed wedding and marry it with Karla's, elegant, sophisticated wedding.
Let me tell you, it was fun doing so!
Go ahead and get lost in these beautiful photos from Marah Grant, you will feel like to had the pleasure of attending their wedding!
Please Enjoy and be inspired!
