A Romantic, Elegant Wedding In King City

David proposed to Darlene by filling their apartment with flower petals and candles. Even though the smoke detector kept on going off during David's speech, that did not stop Darlene from saying a tearful yes – after which they immediately blew out all the flames!

For their big day, Darlene and David opted for a classic theme with a muted palette of mint greens, soft blues, and warm ivories. Floral arrangements brimming with wildflowers added an earthy yet elegant touch, which perfectly complemented the pretty vases that Darlene had picked out herself.

The couple stayed true to their roots with a traditional Korean ceremony, a highlight of which was the reactions of family and friends to their outfits. "At this point of the day we were starting to relax a bit and enjoy ourselves more," Darlene explains.

The celebrations continued with the couple's first dance, which featured musicians on ukuleles strumming "La Vie En Rose" by Louis Armstrong. David chose the song but as a twist it was performed in French, a detail that was important to the couple from the very beginning. "It was absolutely amazing and incredibly personal for us," Darlene notes.

To cap off the evening, the couple treated their guests to a surprise late night McDonald's feast. "It was awesome to see guests with shots in one hand and McChickens in the other!" Darlene laughs.
