Losing a partner is unimaginable, as Bryan Martin

Losing a partner is unimaginable, as Bryan Martin learned when his partner, Clayton Bond, tragically passed after a severe case of ringworm. Caring for Clayton through his illness while managing a full-time job was an emotional journey that left Bryan feeling lost.⁠
⁠
After sharing his grief on social media, Bryan connected with Soaring Spirits International, an organization that supports those who have lost partners. Writing for them helped him process his emotions, and with encouragement, he turned to TikTok, where his dance videos went viral, growing his audience significantly.⁠
⁠
Now with over 1.1 million followers on Facebook and 300,000 on Instagram, Bryan shares joy alongside his grief, inspiring others with his story. He recently self-published "The Widowed Dancer," a memoir celebrating resilience and connection through loss.⁠ He also just celebrated his first anniversary with his husband, Devin!⁠
⁠
Bryan continues to spread joy through daily dance videos as @sealionbryan, reminding us all to honor our emotions and embrace the present. Check out his journey and insights on TikTok, Instagram, and his podcast episode on @viebookclub!

Mr. and Mrs. Woods⁠ A Fairy-Tale Wedding in Alys

Mr. and Mrs. Woods⁠
A Fairy-Tale Wedding in Alys Beach⁠
•••⁠
In a world where love reigns supreme, it is the very essence of our existence. At VIE, we have been weaving tales of romance and passion for sixteen years, with love stories that captivate both heart and soul. One such enchanting narrative unfolded in the charming town of Alys Beach, Florida, where the union of Ann Marie Delaney and Casey Gunnar Woods was nothing short of a fairy tale.⁠
⁠
As the clock struck five o’clock on the evening of April 6, 2024, the couple exchanged their vows amidst a splendid array of colorful florals on the Gulf Green at Alys Beach. Their guests were delighted by the elegance of their love story and the grandeur of their celebration.⁠
⁠
“I grew up in Panama City, Florida, and Casey grew up in St. Pete, Florida,” Ann shared. “Being the sporty people we are, we met in 2013 while playing intramural flag football at the University of South Florida in Tampa. Over the years, we enjoyed many ice-cream dates and gym workouts together.”⁠
⁠
By December 2022, Casey was ready to propose. “We got engaged in Tulum, Mexico, on the private beach behind the house where we were spending our Christmas vacation with my family,” he recalled. “It was just the two of us under the palm trees, with a photographer I had hired, discreetly hidden nearby. My family was inside the house, watching through the windows.”⁠
⁠
“Casey got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife,” Ann added. “It was the easiest ‘yes’ of my life! It was a tropical proposal of my dreams and the best Christmas gift I could ever ask for.”⁠
⁠
We had the pleasure of experiencing every delightful detail of their love celebration. We immersed ourselves in every moment and shared in the magic of their extraordinary day and subsequent honeymoon extravaganza.⁠

Celebrating their love, Alden Easter and Max Lopez exchanged tear-jerking vows along the breathtaking Emerald Coast at The Chapel at Seaside in 2022.

A Legacy of Flavor⁠ A New Era for Café Thirty-A

A Legacy of Flavor⁠
A New Era for Café Thirty-A and Basmati’s Asian Cuisine⁠
•••⁠
Since 1995, Café Thirty-A has held a cherished place in the hearts of countless families who consider a visit to Scenic Highway 30-A in Florida’s Panhandle incomplete without a meal at this iconic spot. This beloved Seagrove Beach restaurant was brought to life by the visionary Harriet Crommelin, whose passion and dedication transformed it into more than just a dining destination—it became a landmark. Harriet’s creation was infused with a warm, homelike atmosphere, setting the stage for a place that embodies charitable spirit, culinary excellence, and enduring charm. Her legacy continues to make Café Thirty-A a standout gem, a “gathering place for those who believe that good food and good company are the center of a life well lived.”⁠
⁠
Following Harriet’s passing in early 2023, longtime employees Jackie Maliszewski and David Kessler were graciously gifted the role of owners for the restaurant. VIE had the privilege of speaking with Maliszewski, who provided insight into Harriet’s enduring legacy and shared details about an exciting new chapter in the story of another iconic 30-A restaurant.⁠
