Zena & Jose
On a casual train ride, Zena never would have thought she would meet her future husband because of a casual glance. With minutes before Jose was about to get off at his stop, Zena gestured him over her way. Despite some anxiety, the two traded numbers and starting dating within a week. After about two years of dating, on Zena's birthday, she was surprised with not only presents, but also a proposal in front of her family. After an excited "yes" Jose and Zena chose the wedding date of September 20, 2009.
The pair's honeybee-themed wedding fit nicely in their choice of reception hall. The centerpieces were a mixture of vines, dahlias, and garden roses all placed in bark-wrapped vases. One table displayed the honeybee cake and a beehive card box, while another showcased the honey-filled jars that were given as favors. Their wedding coordinator, Lisa Scully of Elite Affairs, was a huge part of the wedding process. "I had very limited time to get everything I wanted, but she really rose to the challenge and everything was accomplished," explained Zena

Kerri & Zorz
Kerri and Zorz first met by a chance of fate in Melville, New York, on July 26, 2006. Zorz, originally from Montenegro, was visiting his brother in the United States and immediately noticed Kerri when she walked inside Blackstone Steakhouse. Their eyes locked, creating an intimate connection between the two. After spending hours talking, the two hit it off and spent the rest of his trip getting to know one another until he went back to Europe. Shortly after, the two couldn't bear to stay apart, and Zorz took a leap of faith and came back to the United States to be with Kerri. "After speaking with her I felt so comfortable and knew I wanted to marry her," recalled Zorz, who proposed on Kerri's birthday.
About a year later the couple tied the knot on September 13, 2008, at Raphael Vineyard, which complimented their wine theme. The couple fell in love with the facility's breathtaking vineyard, chic and modern rooms, and unbelievable scenery. "It fit our personalities because of our love of wine, but it also made guests feel as if they were in another location," said Kerri.
