There is no doubt Ludimilla and Jim were brought together by fate. God has a plan for everyone and definitely had a plan in store for them. Ironically, both their friend groups insisted on going to a restaurant that night. Neither Jim nor Ludimilla wanted to go. They tried to persuade their friends to go somewhere else. But both friend groups held their ground. Little did they know that this night would change their lives for the best.

By pure chance, Jim and Ludimilla waited for a drink at the bar right next to one another. They struck up a casual conversation and things naturally took off from there. As they both explain, “ an instant chemistry struck like lightning as everyone else, including our friends, literally faded into the background as we talked and laughed and danced the rest of the night.”

Since that night, Jim and Ludimilla have been inseparable. Their love and commitment for each other has only grown and strengthened as time has gone on. Providing their love with an unbreakable, solid foundation.

“Sharing a strong belief that God has given us this opportunity to be together, we are making the most of our love each and every day. One of our favorite places to go and spend quality time with each other is Clearwater Beach. When we decided to get married, it was only natural to celebrate with a wedding that would be light, fun and full of love with those closest to us! As this is how we aim to live every day together.“

This lead to their intimate wedding amongst their friends and family in one of the most beautiful beaches of Florida, Clear Water Beach by Shephard's Beach Resort. The ceremony was informal yet absolutely beautiful and full of life. The calming crashing of the waves and the gorgeous Florida skies provided the perfect accent for the ceremony. This stunning sentimental spot for the newly wed couple made it easy for their love to shine.
