A Colorful, Rustic Wedding at Middle Ranch in Lake View Terrace, California

Brooke and Eric are big hockey fans with a ton of mutual friends. Their combined interests made them very compatible very early. Two years into dating, Brooke and Eric decided to have friends and family over to watch a UFC fight -- Brooke was baffled by the number of people who RSVP'd "Yes," but just thought they were all excited for the match. Later in the evening, Eric brought everyone out into the backyard for a group picture and just before Brooke said "Cheese!" all their friends and family had put on shirts that spelled out "Will you marry me?" in bright pink lettering and Eric got down on one knee. "It was perfect!" Brooke says. The two of them decided on a rustic, yet elegant wedding at an equestrian ranch called Middle Ranch in Lake View Terrace. "We went for a more rustic feel. -- not too country, but we incorporated whiskey barrels, beautiful bright flowers and a relaxing mood," says Brooke. The simple elegance of the setting and floral arrangements, mixed with a few funny personal details (like the hockey stick tunnel -- Brooke and Eric are huge LA Kings fans -- and the huge monogram display) made this couple's wedding one to remember.
