A Whimsical, Elegant Wine Country Wedding

About the couple

Bride: Rebecca Shropshire

Groom: Mark Bishop

How they met: “We met on a blind date in late 2008,” explains Rebecca. “I started working for a non-profit group in 2007 where I became fast friends with Tiffany Astle, an entertainment industry publicist. Tiffany happened to be working for the publicity company that handled MarbleMedia’s (Mark’s company) public relations efforts. Tiffany suggested that we meet. After much delaying and rescheduling, met over brunch. Brunch became drinks and would have become dinner had I not had to leave for another appointment. The attraction was immediate and by our second date, we both knew this was it.”

Engagement story: “During a vacation in Paris in October 2010, Mark asked me to marry him on bended knee at the top of the Eiffel Tower,” Rebecca recalls.
