REAL WEDDINGS Erica & Greg Siefkin May 19, 2007 By Darren Elms • (he asked for her hand…extra points!), Greg flew back a day earlier than his girlfriend. After picking her up at the airport in Los Angeles the next Y Photography by Bradford M. Shepherd Photography ou could say Erica and Greg’s engagement had a recipe for success from very start. After a trip back East to meet Erica’s dad night, he took a wrong turn and asked to stop on a beach for a little stroll. He laid out a blanket so they could enjoy the beautiful night together. When he pulled out a cookbook for her, Erica couldn’t be happier because of her love for cooking. It’s the red box he placed in the space carved out in the middle that brought her to tears. Both Erica and Greg grew up in Northern California so Sacramento was an ideal location for the wedding. In fact, they met through mutual friends on a trip to Lake Tahoe. “We wanted our wedding to feel very warm, loving and a sense of home and family,” notes Erica. “This was what was most important to us.” sierrastyle.com Winter/Spring 2008 Sierrastyle Weddings 61http://sierrastyle.com
