In the heart of San Francisco, Billy and Christine embarked on a beautiful journey to forever with an intimate civil ceremony at the iconic SF City Hall. Their love story, marked by simplicity and genuine connection, unfolded in a celebration witnessed by only their closest family members (who were so adorable and sweet!).

Christine and Billy’s paths crossed in September 2015 when she, a recent transplant from LA, and he, captivated by her straightforwardness and career ambitions, shared their first date at a local brunch spot in San Francisco. A month into their budding romance, Billy discovered a turning point – the absence of Tinder on Christine’s phone. Her nonchalant response, “I don’t need it anymore,” resonated with Billy, cementing his admiration for her ride-or-die mentality. It was that moment when he fell in love with her.

The stage for their union was set at SF City Hall, where Billy and Christine, joined only by their parents and siblings, exchanged vows in a private ceremony at the top of the grand staircase. Christine, adorned in a floor-length v-neck gown adorned with sequins, carried a lush bouquet of neutral florals in shades of white, peach, cream, and baby blue. A fingertip-length veil added a touch of timeless elegance to her ensemble, while Billy complemented her look in a navy suit with a matching boutonniere.

As they emerged from City Hall as husband and wife, the gentle sprinkle of rain added a lucky touch to their wedding day!
