Tony & Laura

We LOVE these guys and so do our brides on Facebook! Laura always takes the time to compliment our brides on their pictures, give advice, uplift, encourage, and even offers tips on how to stay calm and get rest before their wedding. She is super sweet and caring….no wonder that Tony instantly fell in love with Laura!

Their relationship didn’t start on Facebook, however, it actually started on MySpace, Valentine’s Day 2008. After several conversations, they agreed to meet in person on February 24th at the San Bernardino County Museum. While talking with each other for 5 hours, Laura kept noticing people stopping by the orange tree across the road to pick oranges. Then Tony decided to go and pick an orange too. While walking back to Laura, he engraved their initials and the date on the orange and gave it to her. At the end of their evening together, they both experienced amazing feelings toward each other. As the days went by, Laura and Tony were inseparable on the telephone. Their long days of hard work did not stop them from picking up the telephone when they got home, oftentimes even falling asleep while talking on the phone. Needless to say, lots of trips back and forth from Fontana (his place) & Palm Springs (her place) immediately ensued. Just four short months after meeting each other, Laura moved to Fontana to be with Tony.

Laura was immediately attracted to the way Tony carried himself and the way he treated her. He completely swept Laura off her feet! The saying “The way a man treats his mother, is the way he will treat you” is absolutely is right on the money for Laura!

9 Months after their first meeting, Laura came home after a long 9 hour shift from her work and walked into their bedroom and found Tony on one knee. The wedding planning began!

Laura and Tony soon discovered beautiful Kimberly Crest House and Gardens in Redlands. They visited the property in the month of January. Winter is not the season for flowers and green leaves, but they could still clearly see and appreciate the true beauty of Kimberly Crest and immediately knew it was the spot!

Imagery Concepts enjoyed every step of the wedding planning process with Laura and Elizabeth, the coordinator at Kimberly Crest. Laura and Tony chose to have their wedding on June 14, 2011 (our very first Tuesday wedding!). Their wedding was incredibly intimate and romantic. Becoming husband and wife in the presence of approx. 30 close family and friends was the most important to them. Their day concluded with an appetizer and dessert reception, and MC’ed by our great friend and DJ, Fred Davis, owner of Sound Garden Productions.

By the way, still to this day, Tony goes to the same orange tree every year on February 24^th to pick an orange to engrave their initials and the year!

Laura’s Advise for Brides –

“Enjoy every moment no matter how stressful things may get. Your special day comes and goes so quickly to not enjoy every single second.”
