Shauna & John: A Ballroom Wedding in Coral Gables, FL

A medley of bold, rich colors (artichoke green, purple, plum, lavender, pink, and touches of gold and ivory) washed over Shauna and John's ceremony and reception space at the opulent Omni Colonnade Hotel. The Bride Shauna Flowers The Groom John Morales The Date June 27 Every girl dreams of the perfect prom date, and Shauna, 24, a recent college grad, is no different. Shauna and John, 29, a banking center manager, were both born and raised in Belize, and used to check each other out on their way to school there. But it wasn't until Shauna was in high school that she really noticed him. I ran into John at a park festival, and out of pure impulse I asked him to accompany me to my senior prom, she says. After mulling it over (he had graduated five years earlier), John agreed. Soon after the prom on June 27, 1997, the schoolgirl crush developed into something deeper. Our relationship progressed to a courtship, and we became a couple in love! Shauna says. Seven years later, to the day, the pair, who had each moved to the U.S. for college, exchanged vows before 105 guests at the Omni Colonnade Hotel.
