The Ceremony

Following instructions on the invitations, guests gathered at the Old Captiva House where they were offered cocktails and then escorted to the beach. The aisle was marked by large conch shells and banana leaves, and chairs were decorated with colorful ribbons blowing in the breeze. As friends and family kept cool, fanning themselves with large straw fans (artfully crafted with the programs attached to the handles), Mehgan and Reese exchanged vows in a personalized ceremony performed by the groom's longtime family minister. Mehgan and Reese wed on the beach on Captiva Island.
