Amy & Bill in San Jose, CA

From the bride's customized sweat suit and bling-bling bouquet to the ceremony's overflowing aisle petals and crisp white parasols, Amy and Bill put their personal stamp on their love-filled wedding. The Bride Amy Harvey, 27, software sales executive The Groom Bill Hu, 29, business executive The Date July 24 Nearly seven years ago, Amy Harvey spotted Bill Hu at a Chico State fraternity party. I was actually dating his fraternity brother at the time but couldn't keep my eyes off Billy! she says. Amy eventually broke things off with the frat buddy, and she and Bill slowly started dating. Ever since then, we've been inseparable, Amy says. Six years later, while the couple sipped wine in their bathrobes at the luxurious Bacara Resort in Santa Barbara -- a place Amy always dreamed of visiting -- Bill proposed on her favorite holiday, Valentine's Day. After spending 10 minutes crying tears of joy (and saying yes, of course), Amy spent the next four hours on the phone with friends. And that is exactly what Bill woke up to the next morning! says Amy, who continued making calls all weekend long.
