An Simple, Intimate Wedding at a Private French Garden in Villennes-sur-Seine, France

Terra Archuleta (27, advertising sales executive) and Marc Ingalls (35, hotel sales executive) met while working at a steakhouse in Tampa, Florida. Marc was the wine manager and Terra was waitressing her way through college. Before their relationship could begin, however, Marc moved back to his native country of France. The two friends kept in touch, and after a few email correspondences Marc persuaded Terra to visit him in Paris. During her visit, she fell in love with the city and with Marc, and he moved back to America to be with her. Marc proposed to Terra on the 19th floor balcony of a building in Tampa, against the backdrop of the sunset on the ocean. Since Paris was where they had their first date and where they fell in love, Terra and Marc decided to have a destination wedding at Marc's uncle's private residence in Villennes-sur-Seine, near Paris. The couple was married in the residence's gorgeous French garden among their closest friends and family. Afterwards, Terra and Marc were able to have a breathtaking photo session with Parisian landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower and the Pont des Arts, where they added their lock to the thousands of love locks on the bridge. The wedding festivities ended with a reception in the intimate ballroom at Marc's family residence.
