Marilyn and Spencer
These Contra Costa, California, natives met in 2002, when both worked at a women’s clothing store. Marilyn, who’s in retail sales, thought Spencer “was a horrible employee, but the nicest man I’d ever met.” Although she kept urging her manager to let him go, when Spencer asked her to dinner, Marilyn accepted, and soon found herself vacationing with his family in France.
About seven years later, Spencer gave her a Tiffany & Co. diamond, and to celebrate their long, winding road to matrimony, they planned a French-country-style affair for 70 guests at a wine estate.-

Stone Cold Beauty
Spencer and Marilyn were snapped in the front of Anderson Ranch’s immaculately renovated two-story barn, fashioned from Sonoma fieldstone and old-growth redwood. The groom, in Dolce & Gabbana, held hands with his bride, who wore a Vera Wang gown.
