The Florida Celebration
Celebrating Rae and Declan on Treasure Island
What it is
Before vows are spoken beneath Etna’s sky, we’re gathering in the place that shaped Rae and became part of our story. This evening is both a beginning and a reunion: a chance to raise a glass, share a meal and begin the celebration that will carry across the world.
