They toured the city, stopping for photo ops at Alamo Square and Crissy Field, the must-have Golden Gate Bridge in the background.

Tiffany wore a silk duchesse satin A-line from Wearkstatt, a German designer. "Not my intention...just a coincidence." Her veil was long, extending slightly past the extended train on her gown. "I added buttons down the back of the dress."

A mouthwatering white chocolate-wrapped cake with clusters of soft pink roses provided further sustenance for guests, who hit the dance floor in force. There were four tiers, each a different flavor. "It was fairly simple."

But perhaps the most memorable moment came when Marc's dad asked the couple to perform a traditional German wedding ritual -- cutting a log in half together with a saw. Tiffany explains the reason: "If we could do this, we could get through anything!"

Tiffany & Marc in San Francisco, CA

In Germany, tradition calls for wedding rings to be worn on the right hand, but that's not the only reason Northern California-native Tiffany Holody wears a band on each hand. The Bride Tiffany Holody, 33, an ESL specialist The Groom Marc Fenner, 30, consultant The Date May 1 Her German-born husband, Marc Fenner, presented a simple silver ring when he proposed on the ski slopes in Austria -- he left the real one at home for fear of losing it on the mountain. Tiffany and Marc then set out to plan a formal wedding that, like Tiffany's rings, combined heritage and tradition, both old and new.
