Mary & Gerard held a very special place in my heart throughout the wedding planning process. They shared with me the adorable story of how they began their relationship, which then lead to the creation of their wedding theme. Mary & Gerard went to High School together, and knew each other fairly well. They both graduated, and Mary moved to Colorado to begin her adult life. After having children, succeeding in their careers, and building their own lives, they reunited....on Facebook! When they started chatting, it was New Years Eve 2009, which was also the night of a blue moon. After falling in love, they decided to tie the knot and Mary moved back to California. We of course had to use that special night as the theme-- "Once in a Blue Moon".
Mary & Gerard were married at the gorgeous
Harvest Inn in St. Helena in August 2011. Check out these photos from
