The Bride Denise Walters, 28, an administrative assistant The Groom Bobby Duffin, 27, a management trainee The Date November 7 On the big day, Denise thought Bobby was in his bedroom doing laundry, but he was actually getting up the nerve to ask for her hand in marriage. While he was doing that, she passed the time doodling on his computer. Bobby finally emerged with a ring. Denise said yes and pointed to the photo she had drawn -- stick figures of a man presenting a ring to a woman. They couldn’t believe the coincidence and knew it was a sign. They spent the next seven months planning an outdoor wedding full of warm champagne and pink hues.

Modern square vases held an assortment of garden roses, pink stock, lisianthus, alstroemeria, gerbera daisies, wax flowers, roses, and seeded eucalyptus. Surrounding glass votive holders gave a final touch.
