Kristi and Duane

Kristi and Duane live in North Dakota and decided to reserve the Don CeSar for their Elopement Ceremony on a gorgeous morning in early June on St. Pete Beach.       
 
The Don is a Veritable Icon. With breathtaking vistas from every angle and a dramatic elevation atop wind-swept dunes, The Don CeSar embodies the ultimate in classic elegance and sophistication from bygone eras. It has welcomed the world’s elite, movie stars, authors, US presidents, and even a few gangsters who were looking for a secluded, upscale playground in the sun since 1928. Visitors can now witness the storied Pink Palace® in all of its unique, romantic magnificence.
 
At their ceremony location on the beach in front of the famous swing behind the Don, Kristi looked stunning as she walked across the sand to join Duane. The Blessing of the Hands was a part of their custom designed ceremony. Then, in front of Kristi’s sister and brother in law, the couple shared their vows, exchanged rings, and were pronounced husband and wife by Rev Rick Lackore of Sensational Ceremonies against the breathtaking background of the Gulf of Mexico. 
 
Jennifer and the staff at The Don CeSar handled the venue and event planning. Special thanks Tammy from True Love Photography for capturing this lovely moment during their ceremony.
 
Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Duane and Kristi Cossette!
