The night before the wedding was an “intimate” rehearsal dinner in St. Louis' parents' backyard with the couple’s immediate families and wedding party in attendance. There, St. Louis and Franco read aloud “personal” handwritten vows.

“Robert is Mexican and speaks Spanish in the home, and I minored in Spanish in college, so we did half of our readings in Spanish, and half in English,” St. Louis notes.

Afterward, everyone was chauffeured to the “Mariachi and Margaritas” cocktail hour on golf carts.

“We have a very outgoing group of family and friends so we wanted to have a big party full of music and margaritas!” St. Louis says. “…The vibes were so high!! Mariachi was playing, we were on the golf course, margaritas in hand, with all of our favorite people. And it was 75 [degrees] and sunny. Absolute magic.”

“I love Carrie’s infectious laughter and her charm. Plus, she’s pretty cute,” says Franco, who works in mergers and acquisitions at Deloitte.

“Robert knows how to ground me and he makes me feel at peace,” St. Louis says. “I admire his ambition, his drive, and his heart. Plus, he’s very handsome and cracks me up on the daily.”
