Eat, Love and Marry
We planned this San Diego destination wedding over the course of a year and a half. I can honestly say that Christina and David are two of the dearest people that walk the face of this planet! – Thomas Bui Lifestyles

Christina and David are bigger than life, “foodies”.  Thus, their wedding inspiration became: Eat, Love, Marry

At their wedding ~ EAT … well, pretty self-explanatory. In lieu of a traditional wedding cake, they had a dessert buffet table filled with French silk pie, apple pie, blueberry cream pie … each one named after famous song lyrics.

More from Thomas Bui

The Crosby Country Club in Rancho Santa Fe was Christina and David’s venue of choice. The country club had the private and intimate ambiance that they were looking for. Adorations Botanical Artistry provided brilliant, “happy” seasonal spring flowers ~ Yellow Ranunculus, Orange Poppies, Tulips and Hydrangeas. We then added a crushed taffeta linen in a soft sand color which accentuated the vibrant colors in the florals. Christina carried a bouquet filled with the same vivid colors ~ white, orange and yellow flowers that complemented her stunning Vera Wang gown.

When asked why HE loved HER, he replied, “I just do. There is no reason for my madness!”

SHE feels blessed to have found a man who makes her smile every second she is with him.

She found her perfect man in Dave.

A huge congrats to Christina and David!

  6. Thanks so much everyone! It was the best day of my life! My friends are still raving about how much fun they had. My vendors were/are amazing! They did such a great job and really made it even MORE fun and special! Jess, the BM dresses were from Wtoo Bridesmaids from Watters. The dresses were awesome, they even had pockets! My girls were able to lug around camera's, makeup, etc in their pockets and no one could tell!
