town of Winters. After rummaging through
his bag during the “shoot,” he brought out
a box of chocolate macadamia nuts, and
when she opened it, Charlotte saw one of the
macadamia nuts missing; in its place was a
shiny, diamond ring. Daniel fell to one knee
and officially asked for her hand in marriage.
The bride, whose family still lives in
Santa Barbara, planned a bright summer
wedding, with a citrus-inspired theme. The
ceremony was atop the hill at Montecito
Country Club, overlooking the ocean and bird refuge. The couple stood next to a lush arch
filled with sunflowers, citrus fruits, and moss, while the aisle was lined with more sunflowers.
The three flower girls were Aly, Bella, and Katie, three sisters Charlotte looked after before
moving to college. Their parents, Matt and Marla Dolcini, co-officiated the ceremony. After
watching the couple say their “I do’s” while shielding the summer sun with paper parasols,
the 110 guests were treated to a choreographed first dance by the couple, with the bride
trading in her wedding gown for a white cocktail dress, easier to dance the tango in.
After what they call their “dream Montecito wedding,” the couple dashed back to Davis,
where they packed up their apartment and drove cross-country to Philadelphia. There,
Daniel attends medical school at Temple University and Charlotte is earning her master’s
degree at University of Pennsylvania.
