Introducing Mr. & Mrs. Brad and Ines Hutchins!

Brad Hutchins’ heart skipped a beat back in April when he saw Ines Rivas’ gorgeous photo and list of 20 fun facts featured right here in our iDate of the Week column.

At noon on Monday, Dec. 13, he pledged his heart to her in a very sweet, secret ceremony under the Rotunda of San Francisco’s City Hall.

And Ines pledged hers right back and, amazingly, as if it could even be possible, looked even more gorgeous than ever. The bride was absolutely stunningly beautiful in a flow-y cream colored dress, red-red lips, nails and shoes, carrying a bouquet of red roses. Oh-la-la!

Brad looked darling and beside himself in happiness, as well, in a fabulous blue suit, red-and-purple striped tie and red pocket square. Trés handsomé!

Turns out that the sweet, secret ceremony wasn’t quite so secret after all. Facebook was a-flutter all morning long as friends and family knew Brad and Ines were spending the weekend wine tasting in Napa.

Could they possibly have more on their minds than visiting vineyards and comparing vintages?

Yes, indeed they did. The couple had been planning to elope for quite awhile. I was honored that they asked me to be their witness, and even more honored to have my longtime best friend Eddie Herrador join us and help with the photos.

“It was because you kept pestering me to do that damn iDate that I even met Brad,” Ines jokes, flashing that gorgeous smile that Brad fell in love with. “We’re so very happy.”

Ah, yes, the pestering that paid off in bringing two lovely people together. Now THAT’S what we call Cute, Cute, Cute, No Doubt About It!

Congratulations to Ines and Brad! We’re thrilled that you found one another right here on our website, and we wish you a big world of happiness and love.
