Wedding Date on Apr 8, 2017

Maressa and Jared went to all the same schools growing up – elementary through high school – so their memory of first meeting is a bit hazy. For Jared, it was his senior year that everything snaps into focus. “This was definitely at the beginning of my Maressa crush stage,” says Jarred. “I vividly remember walking towards her in the hall. As she was walking towards me, I was expecting her to stop and talk to me, however she just kept walking past, putting her hands up – motioning as if she was saying sorry but she couldn’t stop.” Fortunately for poor teenage Jared, Maressa ended up being just as smitten. For Maressa, it was their weekly outings for ice cream that marks the beginnings of their young, budding romance. “I remember always looking out the window waiting for him to arrive and then running downstairs to put on my mom’s perfume before leaving,” she reminisces. “Every time I would get in his car, I would get butterflies.” Maressa and Jared’s wedding took us to Fisher Island Club – a little piece of heaven on a private island off the coast of Miami, Florida, where sunlight filters through the swaying palm trees and peacocks freely roam the property. In light of it’s natural beauty, this couple brought a little something special to the scene with their warmth and love for each other.
