Mary Ellen Delph, 32, and Forrest Michael Henderson, 36, both thought they were ready to give up online dating. Then they met each other, and it turned out they were right – because they’ve been a couple ever since. After Forrest popped the question during a vacation in Sedona, Arizona, the couple celebrated their wedding with 100 of their friends and family at Rancho Valencia.
Purple Party “I love purple, so I knew I wanted a variety of purple tones – and I knew I wanted some sparkle! We loved how all of our ideas combined for a theme that was whimsical, but still sophisticated,” says Mary Ellen.
“We fell in love with Rancho Valencia the moment we saw it. We loved that there were three different unique outdoor areas for each part of the wedding.” says Mary Ellen
Vintage Details “My family nickname is ‘Yoyo.’ so Amorology found vintage wooden yo-yos to use as place cards. Then they emphasized the idea with signage that reads ‘wrapped around your finger,'” Mary Ellen remembers
