Scripps Ranch couple Brittany Harris and Hendrik Nollens are originally from Wayzata, Minnesota, and Bruges, Belgium, respectively. “We love to travel and have always dreamed of staying in a hut over the water,” says Harris. The Maldives was a natural choice for these two who have a “passion for the ocean” and both work at SeaWorld. Harris is a killer whale trainer and Nollens is a veterinarian.
Fifteen guests witnessed ocean lovers Hendrik and Brittany say “I do” on a secluded beach. Local bodu beru drummers escorted the bride to the ceremony.
