Well, Raquel and Robert beat the odds and instantly hit it off. Ten months after meeting at the mixer, Robert wined and dined Raquel at Antica Osteria. \u201cI guessed halfway through dinner what was going to happen,\u201d says Raquel. After dinner Robert took Raquel to Hermann Park for an intimate proposal. \u201cFor some reason, all of the lights were out at the park. Nevertheless, the proposal was in true form of our relationship- a little bit of tradition mixed with corky romance, but always full of surprises and good laughs!\u201d adds Raquel. The pair wanted a romantic, garden theme wedding with lots of candles, which perfectly complemented <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/Professionals\/houston_wedding_ceremony_receptions_locations\/bell_tower_on_34th_street.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">The Bell Tower on 34<sup>th<\/sup> Street<\/a>. \u201cWe wanted to include hint of our Asian and Irish heritage through the colors and favors,\u201d she adds. It was only appropriate that Raquel married her Prince Charming in a Rivini gown from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/Professionals\/houston_bridal_gowns\/Mia_Bridal_Couture.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Mia Bridal Couture<\/a> paired with satin white Badgley Mischka peep-toe pumps. *Sigh* Just wait \u2018til you see the lovely photos!
