The key to pulling off a fabulous fete: Don't take the wedding prep period too seriously, advises Anna. Have fun working together to make it happen. It will always be special in the end. Anna and Hector kept that advice in mind as they planned their simply elegant celebration in St. Augustine. THE BRIDE Anna Sevilla THE GROOM Hector Millian THE DATE May 23 Anna Sevilla and Hector Millian had a connection -- specifically, Hector's brother (Anna's coworker). We would see each other when we'd all go out together, and one of those times something sparked, says Anna, 26, an accounts receivable analyst. A year later, Hector, also 26, who works in tech support, created sparks again. He proposed on Anna's birthday.

Anna and Hector chose to exchange vows at a historic art museum with an artfully landscaped courtyard and a bridge that crosses a koi pond.
Anna's maids sparkled in strapless tea-length periwinkle blue dresses (the color of the day) and carried minimalist white tulips.
