It was on, it was off. It was on and then it was off again. Finally, it was on, but for real this time. What was originally going to be a 125-guest celebration at SmogShoppe in Culver City turned into a fabulous dinner party in San Clemente with Rachael and Brandon’s closest friends and family. Carol from CC Fine Florals transformed the Morello’s backyard into a lush oasis while Hannah Costello captured every detail, moment and facial expression Rachael was able to produce. After the intimate ceremony had concluded, the new Mr. and Mrs. Arredondo greeted and popped a bottle of champagne with their virtual guests on Zoom. Appetizers were passed while Chef Bernhard Mairinger prepped the evening’s four-course meal, each course complete with its own wine pairing.
