Blake and Ron wanted to pay homage to the space and let the home&rsquo;s unique architectural details speak for themselves. They chose wild, forest-themed florals that were hand-picked by the couple&rsquo;s florist. The food was also quite unique. &ldquo;We wanted a fusion of Filipino-Canadian and Cajun-Creole flavors &ndash; not an easy feat!&rdquo; Highlights of the menu included poutine topped with gumbo and ube ice cream sandwiches. The couple&rsquo;s dog, Bowie, who they rescued last year, made a surprise appearance, stealing the show in a bespoke dog tux made in Paris. Their wedding focused on good food, good music, and appreciating the unique venue.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><em>The Couple:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Ron &amp; Blake<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><em>The Wedding:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sowdenhouse.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">The Sowden House<\/a>, Los Angeles, CA<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-751303\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/84\/23\/8423a1b2e00d1f69.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-751293\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/a4\/8d\/a48d8e439a8abb70.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-751291\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/7b\/1a\/7b1a950bc5daad14.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-751290\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/e1\/79\/e179343bdfa7a129.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-751288\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/c1\/8f\/c18f3844b8b65db4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-751287\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/23\/21\/23214d15d8bc39d9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-751285\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/e1\/91\/e191881cc5cfa69b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-751284\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/78\/30\/78300501bd68254a.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-751283\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/05\/c2\/05c2389d112cbfc5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-751286\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/e2\/da\/e2da0c0e57adc486.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-751282\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/14\/cd\/14cdbbf8564524eb.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-751281\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/85\/99\/8599934dd1237622.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"469\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-751280\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/35\/31\/35316475b683c6b1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-751279\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/60\/13\/60132e6061e634cd.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-751278\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/5c\/6a\/5c6a7375db5cdf8f.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"goldbox\"><em>Our wedding was held at famous Sowden House, owned by our friends Jenny Landers and Dan Goldfarb.
