Renee & Michael
Renee and Michael first met at The Roxy nightclub in New York City while spending the evening with friends. After being together for six years and falling in love, Renee was thrilled when Michael informally proposed while celebrating their anniversary during a romantic getaway in Mexico. A month later the couple dined at Fleming's Prime Steakhouse in Edgewater, and Michael proposed for a second time with a custom-made, radiant cut, vintage engagement ring from The Diamond Exchange. "I was planning the proposal for a few months. The restaurant has an amazing NYC view, which made it extra romantic," commented Michael. About a year later, once all of the planning was finalized, it was time for the couple to celebrate their classic and elegantly themed wedding on May 15, 2009. The bride walked down the aisle in an ivory La Sposa Madeira mermaid-style gown at the stunning Cathedral Basilica. It had a sweetheart neckline and was beautifully adorned with scattered beading throughout the bodice and lace intertwined within the skirt. "When I saw her walking down the aisle, she looked gorgeous. It was the perfect dress for her," reminisced Michael. The groom looked sharp in a black Ralph Lauren tuxedo with an ivory shirt and a gold paisley-print vest and tie. The bridesmaids wore tea-length dresses in eggplant purple, while the groomsmen sported black tuxedos, white shirts, black vests, and purple ties in paisley print.

Jennifer & Gene
Gene had a crush on Jennifer throughout high school, but his shyness almost kept them from getting together until he finally asked her out senior year. Their relationship grew strong throughout college, and on December 25, 2008, Gene surprised Jennifer with an unforgettable proposal. He presented her with a signed letter written to Jennifer's father and grandfather - "Poppy" - asking permission to marry her. "I knew how close Jennifer is to her father and grandfather, so I wanted proof that I got their permission, and I wanted her to have a keepsake to always remind her of the proposal," commented Gene. Once all plans were finalized, it was time for the couple's October 24, 2009, wedding. The bride stayed at her parent's house the night before, woke up early, and got pampered to perfection at Salon 365 with her bridal party. Paula Figueiredo styled Jennifer's hair partially up with loose curls.
