LOVE STORY

Leila and Justin had two priorities when it came to their wedding. They wanted to intermix their cultural heritage and say their “I do’s” by the ocean. With those requirements in mind, they began planning their special day. The end result included two lovely ceremonies, grand sofreh, white dove release and a romantic gondola ride around the harbor for the newly married duo.

LOVE NOTE

Royal shades of magenta and deep plums inhabited the décor with infusions of ethnic details.

LOVE STORY

The bride’s good friend is to thank for this couple’s loving happiness. Meeting for the first time at their friend’s engagement party, Kelly waited patiently in front of the restaurant for Erick and called him when she first arrived. He didn’t answer right away, so she waited for him, in anticipation. Moments later he walks right past her while calling her cell. Kelly picked up the phone then said, “Turn around.” As soon as he spotted her, she said into her cell, “I’ve been waiting out here for 5 minutes,” and hung up the phone with a smile on her face. They’ve been inseparable ever since. That 5 minutes was definitely worth the wait.

LOVE NOTE

The bride’s bouquet detailed small locket sized photos of family members, honoring and keeping them close to her on this special day.

While Tana and Dana’s love blossomed in Boston, the couple’s wedding took place in her hometown of Placerville. One of the pair’s first outings was to play a little catch. They searched high and low throughout Boston for a baseball, when they chanced upon a souvenir ball just outside of Fenway Park. The sash of Tana’s gown is embellished with the Japanese names of her beloved mother, who passed away week’s before her wedding, and of her grandmother. It also lovingly includes her family crest below.

LOVE STORY

Both Todd and Sara are fourth generation San Franciscans. Todd, therefore, is a fiercely loyal SF Giants fan. Sara, by association, is one as well. So it was only fitting that he proposed at a very beautiful moment: when the SF Giants nabbed the World Series on November 1, 2010.

LOVE NOTE

The couple’s personalities were brought to life with their darling dog joining them down the aisle and Lou Seal, the Giant’s Mascot, making a well-deserved appearance.
