"Timing. All beautiful relationships, romances, and marriages begin with timing. In the case of Willie and Peony, timing was essential. From the first day Willie set eyes on his gorgeous future wife to be in 2011, to the first time he gathered up the courage to romance her in 2014, timing put this two inseparable pair together, allowing them to form a union stronger than either of them could imagine. As the days and months trickled by like a swift moving current, Willie persisted, never missing a beat, constantly making himself a foothold in her life, eventually culminating in her wanting to ultimately reciprocate those feelings. From simple gestures such as wishing her a good morning daily, Peony realized that this other existence, this person, cared for her upmost. She returned the heart, sneaking out like in fairytales that were told to us as children, just to see him, whether it required her to break the rules, needless to be reminded that true love has no rules. Eventually, through longevity and consistency, Willies efforts prevailed, turned a simple friendship at first and won her over to become the most important in his life. Peony, consequently felt equally strong about her soon to be companion for life. Thus ending a chapter of a beautiful courtship ruled by timing, beginning a new one governed by the endless time they will have with each other.

From the bride... "Met online and our first date was at a restaurant Francois picked (Gemma) which turned out to be one of Lauren's favorites. Francois was a few minutes late (per usual) and we decided to stay at the bar and make this a full wine-pairing with our courses. Great evening together and we had two more dates the same week! Amazing time and never looked back."

"Jennifer and Victor met at business school at UCLA in 2011. Victor saw her from across a ropes course during orientation and was immediately attracted to her - to the point where he made a beeline towards her without knowing her at all and offered to help her put on her harness. Not wanting to mix his personal life with school, Victor flirted with Jennifer throughout the year but did not make a move on her until a class trip in Mexico at the end of the first year. Over the next couple of years, Victor fell in love with Jennifer's beauty, intelligence, love for her family, and her passion for travel. It also helped that, like him, she was a passionate Lakers fan even though they were not winning. She took him on incredible trips to Europe, Hawaii, and Japan for the first time and made memories that will last a lifetime. Perhaps most of all, her enduring loyalty to him through adversity made him a believer in true love, which he had been a skeptic of in the past."
