Cassidy and Mark
Cassidy and Mark chose the beautiful Opal Sands Resort on Florida’s Gulf Coast as the venue for their wedding ceremony and reception in late May. With 17,000 square feet of innovative indoor and outdoor event space featuring magnificent views of the Gulf of Mexico, the Opal Sands is the perfect setting for romantic weddings on Clearwater Beach.
A beacon of modern design, Opal Sands Resort invites guests to experience a contemporary Clearwater Beach retreat where every guest room, suite, restaurant and event venue all feature stunning views of the Gulf of Mexico. Guests will discover a serene beachfront escape, awe-inspiring sunsets and the natural beauty of the Gulf and Clearwater Beach Skyline. The Opal Sands features a fresh, contemporary design that reflects their beach-chic atmosphere. Guests can soak up the sun and take a dip in the Gulf front zero-entry outdoor pool and hot tub, refresh their senses in the full-service Opal Spa, relish upscale waterfront dining at one of the resort’s three restaurants and unwind at the beachside Sandbar Tiki Bar while watching the sun set over the Gulf of Mexico. It was the perfect location for Cassidy and Mark to get married.
Cassidy looked gorgeous in her wedding gown as she was escorted down the aisle by her father, to join Mark in front of their wedding arch. The custom designed wedding ceremony for Cassidy and Mark included The Blessing of the Hands. Then, as their family and friends looked on, and with an amazing view of the Gulf of Mexico as their backdrop, the couple shared their vows, exchanged rings and were pronounced husband and wife by Rev Rick Lackore of Sensational Ceremonies.
Ceremony music and sound was provided by Tampa Bay DJ Company, Florals and Décor by Iza’s Flowers, Venue Coordination by Jenna, and the rest of the staff at the Opal Sands; and Event Coordination by Samantha with Blue Skies Weddings and Events. Special thanks to Lifelong Photography Studio for providing this beautiful picture during their ceremony.
Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Mark and Cassidy Shupsky!
