One sunny Californian February day, Jeremy came to work to find his desk taken over by a lovely, charming, smart lady. This surprised him immensely, but he decided to roll with it because she was so beautiful. This was the best decision he ever made, because it gave him the opportunity to spend time in close quarters with this very special lady who he would become friends with. Over months spent working tirelessly, hiking, hanging out on St Patricks Day, trying new restaurants, and playing on the beach he eventually fell hopelessly in love. Of course, this lady was Christy, and she knows she’s the luckiest girl in the whole world.

Another sunny day in California, Christy and Jeremy departed for a much deserved romantic lovers’ weekend in the Temecula Valley. They looked forward to relaxing, tasting many delicious Temeculan wines, getting massages, sleeping in, and enjoying each others’ company without distraction. Little did she know, this was Jeremy’s second planned proposal outing, the first being thwarted by a rogue ovary. Christy had absolutely no idea what was coming up as they enjoyed a lovely dinner on Friday night along with wine tasting, couples massages on Saturday morning, more wine tasting in the afternoon and a surprise horse drawn carriage ride through the vineyards and orange groves near the Ponte Property. How, you may ask, did the lovely lady not suspect that this romantic afternoon would culminate in a proposal? Simple - Jeremy is a romantic, sweet and thoughtful guy. The events of this afternoon were not entirely abnormal so far. In the middle of the Ponte Estate vineyard, mountains in the background and the sun shining on their faces, Jeremy got down on one knee and began his prepared speech. He didn’t get very far before his lover realized what was happening and cut him off: “Yes! Yes! Of course! Of course I will marry you. Yes! So with the wine, the wind and the horse lady bearing witness, the journey to marriage began.
