A few weeks ago Kimmy & Brandon got married.  Do you know them?  Well, trust me, you wish you did!  What a fun couple!  First of all, they both are incredibly gorgeous.  Any future children have clearly hit the genetic jackpot!  Also, they have impeccable taste in music.  Not to mention that they win the Most Laid Back & Relaxed Couple of the Year Award!  The guest list for their wedding consisted mostly of international family and friends, which made for a really interesting and fun reception.  Being an amazingly gifted dancer, Kimmy and her super-cool bridesmaids set the dance floor on fire all night long! 

We are also so glad that Brenda over at Best Wedding Sites and Brenda’s Wedding Blog loved Kimmy & Brandon’s wedding photos enough to feature them on her site as well!  Leslie Roark rocked the photos and Kim over at Dine By Design created a display of almost-too-pretty-to-eat food for this gorgeous beach house wedding right here in Destin, FL.  The cake is a spot-on replica of something Kimmy presented to Renee at Fatty Patty’s cakes.  Gorgeous, right?

Don’t you really just want to come down to the “World’s Most Beautiful Beaches” and let us help you plan your wedding, too?  :) 

A lot of people have never heard of Destin, FL.  They have no idea about our little coastal towns called Seaside, Watercolor, Alys Beach, Rosemary Beach, Seahaven, and Watersound. 

We locals know all about how so many celebs not only vacation here, but also call it their home away from home.  Here is just a smattering of the famous names and faces that are frequently seen on our beaches and in local shops and restaurants.  If I could find a published story tying the celeb to the area, I included the link (click on thier names to read more).
