Loriann Gilliland & Herick Serna
November 17, 2007
Riverside, CA
After attending a dinner party together, Herick and Loriann realized that their thirteen years of friendship had developed into true love. On a Sunday morning, Loriann assumed they were venturing off to their traditional breakfast spot as she hopped in the car, unknowingly. Instead, Herick led Loriann into the parking lot of a jewelry store where he asked her to spend the rest of her life with him, and to join him in picking out her perfect engagement ring.
The opulent Mission Inn served as their venue, and provided a beautiful backdrop for their Spanish-inspired celebration. The couple loved the rich colors of the location, and attendees marveled in the precise planning and stunning setup the couple had chosen for their big day.
Loriann and Herick's vows incorporated heartfelt commitments to their children and their newly combined family. After the lovely ceremony, guests headed to an elaborate cocktail party on the patio of the Inn, and soon were led into the reception where tables were strewn with assortments of candles and roses. The twosome savored every aspect of their special day, and were thrilled it turned out to be the grand occasion they had both hoped for.
