An office crush turned romantic when lawyers Becky realized how much she had in common with Paul. They were both working at a New York City law firm when they discovered they had mutual friends and an interest in offbeat arts and literature. After work they'd hang out and eventually a relationship formed. The Bride Rebecca (Becky) Trent, 31, attorney The Groom Paul Lekas, 30, attorney The Date May 25 Three and a half years later Paul took her to Times Square and asked her if he should propose. She said, no way! (she thought he was kidding and even if he wasn't she didn't want it to happen in front of tourists). Well, it turned out he wasn't kidding about proposing and later that evening he asked her to be his wife in a quiet Manhattan park.

Each bridesmaid chose a pink or purple dress in a spaghetti strap, halter or high-neck style.
Becky and Paul exchanged personalized vows under a giant tree on the winery's grounds.
Becky's custom-made French lace gown featured a sweetheart neckline, cap sleeves and a stunning open back.
The three flower girls carried gold baskets filled with colorful petals.
The reception venue's rustic wood floors, cross beams and vintage looking candle chandeliers added to the ambience. Raspberry crushed linens topped with gold chargers and surrounded by gold chivari chairs added a rich color to the indoor space.
Cream cards printed in purple detailed the elaborate menu.
Tables were named after places the couple had lived or visited. The names were printed on labels stuck to empty wine bottles. Overflowing vases of yellow, red and fuchsia roses also topped the tables.
Becky's hand-tied bouquet of red and pink roses, calla lilies and other colorful blooms popped against her white lace gown.
Guests found their names on white, tented cards printed with the same purple flowering vine pattern found on the other wedding stationery.
