One of the first places we thought of for wedding venues was Key West, Florida. It was beautifully breathtaking in pictures. The hotels were gorgeous and it was tropical while still being in the States.
Sadly, things are really never what they seem.
Darren got the chance to be in the Keys today, and from what he told me, he was less than impressed. It wasn't what he expected. It had an old town feel to it, as if it was downtown of some city. And it acted like one too. All the shops close at five. My guess is for happy hour, and for his family, it will be a bit awkward. So right now they're going back to their hotel. However, that wasn't the worst part. There was a swarm of mosquitoes. Everyone but him was getting bit (why mosquitoes leave him alone I have no idea). With this knowledge, I knew this wouldn't be the best place for me. I get bitten up all the time and it's never fun.
So, Key West is no longer a place of interest for us for our wedding. We still have Savannah and Atlantis, but there are still other beaches and resorts we can look into. It's sad because there was one hotel there that I absolutely fell in love with. Most particularly the decor. It was bright and colorful and it looked happy. Below I have pictures of it. Maybe I can use them as inspiration for my apartment in the future.
If I have learned anything from this, it is to check things out in person and not judge from pictures because some times they aren't the same.
