Marsha and Shane

Tampa Bay Watch set the stage for Marsha and Shane's waterfront wedding on April 16th at the Tampa Bay Watch Community Center.Tampa Bay Watch is perched on the shoreline of Cunningham Key, just before the entrance to Fort De Soto Park in Tierra Verde, Florida.  Al Hall, a close friend of the groom's family officiated the ceremony on the south lawn with approxomatly 125 guests comprised of family and close friends.

A cocktail hour immediately followed on the wraparound deck, providing a spectacular birds-eye views of Tampa Bay, Fort De Soto, Shell Key, and the Gulf of Mexico. 

The formal reception began with introduction of the wedding party and a big applause for the new Mr. and Mrs. Shane Manning. A buffet-style dinner, hosted by Amici's.

Marsha and Shane danced the night away, with the fun and upbeat sounds of DJ Dean, Unique Sounds, Intl., surrounded by all the people that mattered to them the most . . . It was a magical night for all!

My heartfelt best wishes go to Marsha and Shane for a long and joyous life together.

We asked the bride:

1.     What is your most remembered moment from the day?

The entire event was most memorable for me. It was a culmination of all the hard work, planning and effort. The day was about enjoying the time with family and friends, which we definitely did!

2.     If you could do it over what would you do different?

 I wouldn't do anything different - we had a great time! Do what, you as a couple, want to do and there won't be any regrets.

3.     Do you have any advice to future brides?

 Don't get caught up in any drama - it only takes away from the day.
