Our beautiful bride was of French ancestry, the very handsome groom was Lebanese, raised in Senegal. Many languages were spoken at the couple's July wedding, which was held at St. Francis Catholic Church and The Julia Morgan House.

The Mediterranean feel was prevalent throughout. Chilled sugared grapes cooled the guests as they mingled on the patio of the historic mansion. The sumptuous buffet offered chicken, lamb, couscous, cheeses, figs and a variety of olives.

The filigree design selected by the couple was intertwined throughout: on their invitations, beverage napkins and even on the wedding cake. As a favor, guests received bottles of port that contained a recipe for a port-wine salad dressing.
