A Love that Ages Like Fine Wine<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lauren and Gene first met in 2016, but at\ntheir wedding this past March, it was clear that their love has only grown in\nthe past five years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The couple chose a chic color palette of navy\nand copper for the big day, and these rich tones looked lovely against the\ngreenery in our Plaza Toscana. Gene and his groomsmen looked sharp in their\nsuits of navy pants, cream jackets (Gene wore gray), and fun navy bowties.\nLauren\u2019s bridesmaids wore long, navy gowns with lace bodices. And of course,\nour bride was a vision in white, wearing an a-line style gown with a beaded\nback and full skirt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ceremony was a sweet, traditional affair \u2014\nwith one notable exception. Lauren and Gene included a wine ceremony in the\ncelebration. They sealed a bottle of wine into a box, which they intend to open\nlater at a special time in their life together. With that beautiful, romantic\nsentiment, it was time to call our couple \u201cofficially husband and wife!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reception was filled with great food,\ngreat music, and lots of fun. Lauren and Gene danced their first dance to a\nsong called \u201cInevitable,\u201d and then handed the stage over to musician Jeff\nOcheltree for a stellar performance! During the evening, guests enjoyed a meal\nof baby green salad, green beans with toasted almond slivers, braised beef\nshort ribs, and caprese chicken (yum)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lauren and Gene\u2019s officiant told us that their\nwedding was a reminder that love does have a \u201chappily ever after.\u201d Well, if you\nask us, that would have been clear simply by looking at this couple\u2019s adoring\nsmiles as they looked at each other! Their wedding was a beautiful celebration\nof their love, and we are so glad we got to be a part of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
