THEIR STORY |
|
|
|
|
| HOW THEY MET Cynthia and Mark met at the party of a mutual friend in San Francisco. Cynthia had heard Mark's name before they met and was surprised by how cute he was. After their first meeting, they ran into each other the following three weekends before their official "first date". | | | | BRIDE'S PROFESSION Purchasing/Marketing Manager | | | | | GROOM'S PROFESSION Online Advertising Sales Director | | | | LENGTH OF ENGAGEMENT 1 year | | | | THE PROPOSAL Cynthia's dad accidentally gave a hint so she was a little suspicious when she came home from work one Friday night and all the lights were out. When she opened the front door, Mark was sitting by the fire with the candles lit, red roses placed throughout the house. Their black lab, Winston, was also there to greet her and added to the genuinity and richness of the moment. | | | | THE GOWN Cynthia wore a Jin Wang duchess satin dress with a halter top and silk organza overlay on the skirt. | | | | NUMBER OF GUESTS / ATTENDANTS 180 | | | | THE THEME The event was inspired by the location. The reception setting was very old with great history and a gorgeous backdrop - trees and Lake Tahoe. | | | | THE CAKE A square, three layer chocolate fudge cake covered in vanilla buttercream frosting. | | | | FIRST DANCE SONG Summertime | | | | THE MENU Hors d'oeuvres: Spanakopita , Vegetable Spring Rolls, Vine-ripe Tomatoes with Fresh Mozarella Toasts and Fresh Basil, Crab Cakes, Smoked Chicken Quesadillas, Fig and Roquefort Canapes
