Kiko House - Private Estate
October 3, 2009

The Connect: While waiting at a stoplight close to San Diego State University, they caught one another’s eye and struck up a friendly conversation. After convincing their friends to all go out together that night, they continued to talk all through the evening until sunrise. They felt like they had known each other forever. Their official first date was Disneyland and the rest is history.

The Proposal: Fourteen years after their first date, with a house owned together in Crown Point and enjoying the San Diego lifestyle, Wes had Tammy listen to the new songs he had downloaded onto his iPod. He didn’t tell her but, one was a song he had written for her about their wonderful times together. At the chorus, he got down on his knee and proposed and sang, will you marry me? She still to this day listens to the song and smiles with joy!

The Celebration: In an effort to keep the wedding very modern and incorporate the beautiful beaches, they chose to have the celebration at an exquisite private estate. They took pictures and had the ceremony on the sand, then guests headed up to the patio overlooking the ocean for cocktails and appetizers. With personal chefs at three stations it allowed for customized food choices for the guests and a casual atmosphere where all could feel relaxed. Tammy was all about the little details for the event and added many touches for a personal feel to the wedding.

Tammy’s Advice: “Hire a coordinator so all the details are sure to be handled.”
