These two are married! Nicole and Gavin wed at the adorable La Jolla Women’s Club and then moved the party on over to the Old Venice Restaurant, where guests were fed some amazing Italian dishes and danced the night away. But how did this all come about? I’m a huge believer in fate and perfect coincidences, and how Nicole and Gavin met is proof of that.“We met at Gavin’s work Beaumont’s, a local neighborhood restaurant and Bar in La Jolla. Gavin was setting up the band when I walked in with a friend, our eye’s met instantly and was an immediate attraction at first sight. Little did we know, my friend that I was there with new him, so he took it upon himself to walk up to say ‘hi’ and introduce himself to me. He was working so I didn’t see much of him during our gathering. Since it was my friends Birthday, it was a late night and we just about closed down the bar. She was dating one of the band members who invited us to an after party nearby. Gavin new the group, so when he closed down and locked up the restaurant, he made a call to a buddy and asked if I was there. While there, I found myself being hit on by someone I was not interested in and was trying to find an (out)(exit). In my head, I told myself, “please god, please get me out of this” within seconds, Gavin walks down the hallway and turns down the corner right in front of the room I was sitting down in. I bolted out of the room, jumped in his arms and pretended we were an item so the guy would give up. As we walked off together, I whispered in his ear and said “just go with it” …and the rest is history.”Soon after, Gavin would propose to Nicole and their favorite beach in San Diego, Windansea. It was only appropriate to do some beach portraits there on their wedding day! We had the whole beach to ourselves and the weather was perfect. Everything was meant to be! Congrats to you both!
