Hummingbird Nest Ranch Wedding | Simi Valley, CA | Erica and Bobby

Bobby proposed to Erica in Napa Valley on her 30th birthday… aka best birthday gift ever! They had spent the day wine tasting and then went for dinner at Auberge de Soleil. Bobby arranged the best seat out on the porch so they’d have a stunning view of the mountain and the sunset. After dinner he had the waiter come out with dessert and written on the plate was “Will You Marry Me?”. Bobby went down on one knee and popped the question with everyone in the restaurant clapping and cheering as Erica said “Yes!”. What made this night even more special was the fact that Bobby asked Erica’s parents and his very own daughter for permission to wed Erica.

Bobby’s older sister, passed away in 2001. Her favorite flower was the sunflower.

Erica took it upon herself to put sunflower arrangements all over the house and the backyard in an effort to make Bobby’s mom smile and feel more comfortable. He didn’t even remember telling Erica about the significance of sunflowers to his mom.  But Erica sure did. “It’s actions like these that show what kind of a person Erica is. My mom was glowing when she saw the arrangements and had a great time. That meant so much to me I literally cannot express it in words.”
