Tatzia and Ryan

Tatzia and Ryan chose the USF Botanical Gardens as the venue for their intimate ceremony in mid Spring

The USF Botanical Gardens is part of the College of Arts and Sciences’ ECORE (Environmental and Conservation Outreach, Research, and Education) System. The Botanical Gardens consists of 16 acres of gardens and greenbelt on the Tampa campus of USF and maintains a living collection of more than 3,000 plants, animals and natural habitats. The Gardens serve as an important outreach component of the University that attracts thousands of visitors annually. Plant festivals and other events bring enthusiasts from around the state to shop for rare and unusual plants. The Gardens also support ongoing research and serves as a living classroom for education. Studies in citrus greening, biology, engineering, and many more take place on site in the Research Park and classes from regenerative agriculture to botany are taught on site. There are many opportunities for researchers, teachers, student groups, and community members to get involved. It was the perfect location for Tatzia and Ryan to tie the knot.

Tatzia looked beautiful as she made her way down the garden path to join Ryan in front of their wedding arch.  The couples’ custom designed ceremony included the Blessing of the Hands.  Then, in front of an intimate gathering of their family and friends, the couple shared their own vows, exchanged rings and were pronounced husband and wife by Rev Rick Lackore of Sensational Ceremonies. 

Special thanks to Jonathan with Lens Culture Photo and Film for providing this beautiful picture of the happy couple after their ceremony.

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Ryan Goldberg!
