Raquel & Brian in Angwin, CA

Raquel and Brian's weekend wedding was a stately affair -- but that didn't keep the bride and groom from letting loose and partying, both before and after the wedding. THE BRIDE Raquel Pilar Rubin, president of an executive search firm THE GROOM Brian de Lemos, software executive THE DATE August 31 Raquel Pilar Rubin had taken the day off and was lounging on the couch watching television when the telephone rang. It was her boyfriend, Brian de Lemos. He had borrowed Raquel's car for work that day and was calling to report that the vehicle had overheated, stranding him on Vista Point overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge. Vista Point is not a bad place to be stranded but it was pouring rain, so Raquel raced over to rescue Brain. She found him standing by the car, holding...a sheet. It turns that Brian had brought the sheet to spread on the ground so that he could get down on one knee without ruining his suit when -- much to Raquel's happy surprise -- he proposed to her.
