Megan Cloncs and Kyle Flatley celebrated their wedding at The Crane Bay Event Center, joined by nearly 250 guests. The couple had dated for over four years, and loved to travel, collecting sand from every beach they visited. On the last night of each trip, they would also smoke a cigar and enjoy a cocktail while overlooking the scenic view.
They wanted to incorporate these traveling traditions into their big day. During their ceremony, the base of the unity candle they lit was composed of the sand they had gathered from all of their trips together and after the reception was over they moved the party to Nicky Blaine’s to enjoy a final cigar and nightcap before ending the most perfect day.
