When a group of girls pull up on a rent-a-boat to the Islamorada Sandbar on a holiday weekend, you know you’re in for a scene straight from @qualifiedcaptains on Instagram. That’s where it all started. Scouting out the perfect spot, Kelsey and her friends headed for an opening between boats at the sandbar. Fully aware of the rental boat reputation, Alfred jumped into action to protect his boat. Once the rental boat was safely anchored and secured, Sandbar Sunday began. Kelsey floated over to her, unknowingly at the time, soon to be mother-in-law, and said “That was so nice of him to help us with the boat! Was that your husband!?” She and her friends laughed and replied, “No…that was yours!” After an hour of 21 questions, tequila spiked watermelon, and a game of “pass the shell” with Alfred’s mom and her friends, liquid courage took over and Kelsey floated over to Alfred. “Your mom wants us to meet!” Since that day, Kelsey and Alfred have been inseparable. No one knows who deserves the most credit…a mother’s instinct, tequila, or the sandbar magic, but they are sure glad they floated into each other that day. Kelsey and Alfred can’t wait to celebrate their wedding weekend with their closest friends and family!
