Beautiful Wedding Venues, Florida

Billy and I have been to a few weddings in the last few years, actually it was two weddings, and one commitment ceremony.  The most recent one was yesterday, held on Marco Island, for my old friend Cheryl.  She looked so beautiful, and I've never seen her look more happy. Congrats to Chris and Cheryl!
Before this, we attended what was stated as being a birthday party, and SURPRISE! turned out to also be a commitment ceremony, performed by the then mayor of Naples.  This one was held in the city of Naples, at the Port Royal Club.  Congrats to Jerry and Tim!
Before that, we attended a lovely outdoor wedding at the beautiful and historic Tarpon Lodge, in Pineland, (Bokeelia) Florida, just north of Naples.  This one was for the son of one of my design clients, and he and his wife Bree have since had a beautiful daughter, called Grace.  Congrats to Patrick and Bree! 
The Olde Marco Inn, where Cheryl and Chris's guests stayed, was founded in 1883, and only has 53 rooms.  Check out their site for more information.
The Port Royal Club, a beach front location, was founded in 1959, and designed by noted Palm Beach architect, John Volk.  They have a beautiful new site, check it out. (members only venue)
The Tarpon Lodge is also very nice, and on the water, in a more "Old Florida" setting, and it was first established in 1926.  The event we attended was low-key and very nicely done.
