Melanie & Justin
Simi Winery
Melanie and Justin live in Houston and wanted their closest family and friends to discover the California wine country they had fallen in love with on vacation. Melanie, an attorney, met Justin when he served as a witness in the case she was trying. Fast forward to the end of the trial (she won!), a smitten Justin asked Melanie out and later that year he proposed in Paris. We welcomed their 90 out of town guests through a burlap covered archway with a custom wooden monogrammed sign, plied them with wildflower lemonade, local wines and a family style feast, and delighted them to the last minute with Melanie and Justin’s getaway in a classic 1970 Chevy Chevelle.
