Wedding Wednesday: Monica & Ryan

10/3/2014 | Stone Gardens


Their Story | Monica and Ryan wanted their wedding to be romantic and fun for everyone in attendance.  It was a warm Autumn day at Stone Gardens, perfect for a party to last all night long.  Monica and Ryan had a short and sweet ceremony that led into a reception of plenty of good food, dancing and an open bar to keep the party going.  With Fallbrook being far enough from their home in San Diego, the couple turned their wedding into a mini destination wedding, booking rooms at the Welk Resort Escondido for a fun weekend getaway with family and friends.
