Alessandra and Carlos originally met in high school as ushers at the Hollywood Bowl. Carols would claim they met the first year they started working there, but Alessandra doesn’t remember meeting him until she was about to go into her first year of college. hehe. They were friends for two years before things got serious. They’re such a fun and relaxed couple, surrounded by wonderful and loving family and friends, and had been in a long distance relationship before marriage while he attended a law school. (SF-LA)

One of the things that touched me the most was how caring Alessandra was; especially when I witnessed her explaining what kind of wedding dress and jewelry she was wearing on her wedding day to her blind grandmother.

Their wedding was at St. Bede the Venerable Church in La Cañada Flintridge, and the reception was at Odyssey Restaurant & Events in Granada Hills.

McKenna and Will met at Harvard University in 2011. They were roommates and best friends for five years before they finally started dating. (During McKenna’s father’s speech at the wedding, he confessed that he had made sure Will did not make any move on her until she graduated from Harvard.) They’re both creative people professionally and personally and enjoy doing a lot of the same things together and with their friends and family. They currently live in Oakland, but got married in Elysian Park (CHAVEZ RAVINE ARBORETUM) and had their lovely reception at Bacari in Silverlake. It was simply perfect; a small ceremony followed by a reception with their loved ones.

Not to forget that Bacari’s pizza was so delicious, and guess what, Will proposed to McKenna by putting a ring inside a pizza box.)

Their wedding was so laid-back and go-with-the-flow, which perfectly suited their vibes and personality. They also got ready together at Silver Lake Pool and Inn. Ahhh my kind of people!

“Jonathan and I met in 2018 when we were working at KPCC (a public radio station in LA). He was working on the daily arts and culture show called "The Frame," and I was working on the daily news/talk show "AirTalk." We eyed each other for awhile but it took months to actually have an excuse to talk to each other (I semi-made up a story about needing a reference for an entertainment industry guest lol). That seemed to open a door with him because then he started doing cute things like emailing me links to a museum that specializes in rocks that look like people. It catapulted to dating pretty quickly from there.

In terms of what we are like as a couple, we are pretty relaxed, enjoy cooking and hosting friends, and we love each other a lot. He spends his spare time playing music and I spend mine reading/writing. We take care of each other as best we can and are excited to seal the deal and spend the rest of our lives together,” Mary said.

There. It just says everything about them.
I was crying at their wedding ceremony with them, sniffing a lot to the point where almost everyone saw me - apparently, I couldn’t hide it behind my camera!
Their love is just so pure. We all should love like Mary and Jonathan love each other. It’s so beautiful.
