A Saltmarsh Love Story

9/18/2012 - By Jayme Gabes

We are proud to announce that two of our own "tied the knot" on September 8th, 2012.  Friends and family of Brad Mostert and Jennifer Elkins gathered for a beautiful ceremony at Pine Forest United Methodist Church followed by a reception at Paul's on the Bay.  

A shower was thrown for the couple at our Pensacola office, on September 4th, where Saltmarsh employees were able to celebrate with the couple before the big day!  See pictures below from the shower.

Now that the happy couple is back from the honeymoon, we decided to catch up with them for a little question and answer.

His:

1. When and where did you meet? 
  • At a Beta Alpha Psi social event at the Gulf Breeze Zoo.
2. When you first saw her, what were your thoughts? 
  • I thought she was beautiful and that I needed to work next to her while cleaning up the zoo.
3. Where was your first date? 
  • Probably technically when we watched some award show and ate pizza at her apartment.
4. What is your favorite thing to do with her? 
  • I enjoy doing anything with her! She's the best.
5. What is your favorite thing about her? 
  • The way she treats people.  She is the most kind and giving person I know!
6. What is your favorite moment with her? 
  • When she said, "I do."
7. If you could sum her up in one word, what would it be? 
  • Perfect.
8. When did you know she was "the one"? 
  • The first time I ever saw her.
9. What is her most annoying habit? 
  • Picking the polish off of her nails after paying to get them done!
10. Your stupidest fight was over... 
  • Oh geez. Probably over what shower curtain we were going to buy.
11. Name one item that she is attached to that you would love to burn...
  • Surprisingly, I don't think she really has anything she is attached to that I don't like.
12. What about married life are you looking forward to the most? 
  • Just spending the rest of my life with her!
13. Anything exciting planned for the honeymoon? 
  • Going on a 7-day, 6-night cruise to Cozumel, Belize, Honduras, and Grand Cayman. 

Hers:

1. When and where did you meet? 
  • At a zoo clean-up event held by Beta Alpha Psi (through UWF) in November 2008.
2. When you first saw him what were your thoughts? 
  • I wondered who he was because I had never seen him at a meeting before.
3. Where was your first date? 
  • At my apartment, I think we ordered a pizza and watched an award show and a movie and we dubbed that our first official date since it was the first time we hung out together without our mutual friends.
4. What is your favorite thing to do with him? 
  • So far my favorite thing to do has been to plan our lives together via "window shopping", sometimes we look at houses online together even though we aren't going to buy for another year or so, or we look at furniture or decorative things when we are shopping that we could fill our home with once we buy our house and it's always a lot of fun.
5. What is your favorite thing about him? 
  • Definitely his sense of humor and how witty he is. 
6. What is your favorite moment with him? 
  • When he asked me to marry him.
7. If you could sum him up in one word, what would it be? 
  • Fun.  
8. When did you know he was "the one"? 
  • We went through a rough patch and separated for a while a little over a year after we started dating and during that time we remained friends and he gave me time to realize that he was worth every bit of work it took to make our relationship last. When we got back together I knew that I never wanted to be without him again and he was "the one" for me.
9. What is his most annoying habit? 
  • Being stubborn. 
10. Your stupidest fight was over... 
  • Who had to turn the light off before bed.
11. Name one item that he is attached to that you would love to burn...
  • His basketball shorts that are covered in paint stains.
12. What about married life are you looking forward to the most? 
  • Buying a house together and making it a home.
13. Anything exciting planned for the honeymoon? 
  • We went a Caribbean cruise and with the credits from our group gift from our awesome coworkers we were able to see the Mayan Ruins in Cozumel, go snorkeling in Belize, and zip-lining in Honduras! Thanks SCG peeps!!!!! 

Here's to many, many years of happiness for this couple!  Congratulations to the both of you and best wishes from your Saltmarsh family!
