Keri & Ben’s Winter Wedding at The Little Wedding Chapel

Love Warms Even the Coldest Florida Day

Florida is known for its sunshine and warmth, but on January 31st, 2026, the Sunshine State experienced something rare — a genuine cold snap, with temperatures dropping below freezing. For most, this would have been a reason to stay indoors. For Keri and Ben, a couple from Bedfordshire in the United Kingdom, it was simply the backdrop to one of the most heartwarming weddings The Little Wedding Chapel has ever hosted.

Despite the unusually cold weather outside, The Little Wedding Chapel in Eustis, Florida was filled with nothing but warmth, love, and the unmistakable energy of a family brought together by celebration. With beautiful photography by Chris, every moment of Keri and Ben’s winter wedding was captured with tenderness and artistry.

Keri and Ben’s decision to travel from the UK to Florida for their wedding speaks to a growing trend of international couples choosing The Little Wedding Chapel as their destination wedding venue of choice. The chapel’s reputation for creating intimate, beautifully personal ceremonies has attracted couples from across the globe.

A Family Affair: Daughters, Zoom Guests, and Boundless Love

One of the most touching aspects of Keri and Ben’s wedding was the gathering of family from near and far — both physically and virtually. Their lovely daughters played a meaningful role in the day, making the ceremony feel like a true family celebration rather than simply a wedding between two individuals.

For family members unable to travel, the magic of modern technology brought them right into the heart of the celebration via Zoom. This hybrid approach to wedding attendance — increasingly popular in the post-pandemic era — ensured that no one who mattered to Keri and Ben missed out on their special day.

This thoughtful inclusion of remote guests is a reflection of The Little Wedding Chapel’s flexibility and understanding of modern family dynamics. Whether guests attend in person or virtually, LWC ceremonies are designed to feel intimate, connected, and full of meaning for everyone involved.

The ceremony itself was a testament to the idea that true love transcends distance, temperature, and circumstance. Keri and Ben’s commitment to each other was evident in every moment — from the emotional vows to the joyful smiles shared with family both present in the room and watching from screens across the world.
