Saddlerock Ranch Summer Wedding

L

Lauren and David are married!! These two tied the knot earlier this summer at Malibu’s gorgeous Saddlerock Ranch. And can we just tell you… they had one heck of a celebration! These two have been in love and lived all over the country. But, when David proposed at this oh-so-special winery in Malibu, Lauren knew that’s exactly where she wanted to get married. In fact, they even had their first look at the exact spot where David proposed. Talk about romantic! Very romantic – until Lauren noticed that David had forgotten to zip his fly. And then – the most laughter that we think we’ve ever heard on a wedding day! Don’t believe us? Check out the images below!

Surrounded by their closest family and friends that came from near and far, Lauren and David exchanged vows. Full of emotion, the most sincere vows, and all of the love, their ceremony was one to remember. Standing underneath that gorgeous blue sky, surrounded by the beautiful California mountains and vineyards, these two souls became one. And after their ceremony, the real fun began. Dinner, drinks, and dancing under strands upon strands of twinkly lights hanging from all of the trees. (We kid you not – ALL of the trees!) Ice cream sandwiches, from their favorite ice cream cart. All of the dancing and shenanigans. And, just after David and his best friends surprised everyone with a crazy-fun water ceremony, these two sweethearts ended their night on the dance floor surrounded by everyone in attendance.Like we said, one heck of a celebration!
