"Love is Luck. Who Meets on a Cruise Ship?" | The Flanders Hotel | Ocean City, NJ Wedding

August 5, 2021

Kiann & Chris had their wedding at the Flanders Hotel in Ocean City, NJ.

From the first time I talked with Kiann and Chris, their epic story of meeting just blew me away! So much of their Ocean City, NJ Wedding came back to their fateful meeting on a cruise at 19.

“I need to book more cruises,” maid of honor Colleen said.

“Who meets on a cruise ship in the Mediterranean? Who does that,” best man MJ mused.

Meeting during a mixer on their vacation, Chris said, “It wasn’t necessarily love at first sight…but it was REALLY close!” “After that, I was hooked,” Kiann said.

From Chris telling Kiann on that fateful cruise not to settle for “anyone less than, you know, me” to Kiann knowing that she was in love with him after a week, their relationship grew stronger through long-distance and endless adventures.

They chose Ocean City for their rescheduled wedding because it was a place Kiann loved to go to as a kid and a place she had shared with Chris. Chris planned their engagement at sunset here, and it was the perfect place for them to bring their friends and family together.
