Real Wedding Wednesday

Tina Wachs & Robert Lazaro Gorrin

Seven Degrees

Robert Gorrin knew that after eight wonderful years with Tina Wachs, it wasn’t going to be easy to surprise his bride-to-be. So when Tina came home to a dimly-lit house filled with candles and flower petals spread throughout, she thought this definitely would be the night he’d drop to one knee. Cunningly, Robert had the real proposal planned for the following afternoon. His sister’s “decoy” phone call led them to a surprise dinner where he proposed with their families present. A modern wedding followed at Seven Degrees with unique touches that reflected their heritages. It was a perfectly memorable day for this fun loving couple!

 Tina’s Advice:
“Stop and take the time to enjoy the wedding
planning process. Have fun with it!”

Real Wedding Wednesday

Katie Campbell & Kalen Suter
The Crossings at Carlsbad

After an enjoyable trip to Mexico with mutual friends, Katie Campbell and Kalen Suter knew they had found their soul mates. A proposal on Katie’s birthday at The Baleen Restaurant started their journey to the classic wedding of their dreams. Their version of Rock and Roll was used throughout the event with custom guitar pics, matching black and white ensembles, and The Verve’s “Lucky Man” tied it all together. A relaxing Hawaiian honeymoon followed.

 Katie’s Advice:
“Don’t stress the tiny mishaps…
have fun with your big day!”
