In the digital age of modern romance, Richie and CeCe’s love story began with a simple swipe right on Tinder. A month after CeCe’s move from Chicago to Scottsdale, she joined the dating app with no intention of finding love. Little did she know destiny had a different plan in mind that resulted in a wedding at McCormick Ranch Golf Club.
“I was only looking to meet people in this new city, and I told him I did not want to be in a relationship,” CeCe recalls. However, from the moment they met, sparks flew, and love blossomed unexpectedly. “It was love at first sight.” And they both knew it. The first dinner date turned into a magical evening of laughter and connection. Sitting in the car, listening to music, Richie and CeCe discovered a shared silliness that set the tone for the incredible journey ahead.
Fast forward a year and a half, and Richie orchestrated a Christmas Eve proposal that mirrored a sentimental family tradition. With a ring nestled in an ornament box on the tree, Richie asked CeCe to be his forever, just like his dad had proposed to his mom.
The love story continued to unfold at the picturesque McCormick Ranch Golf Club, where Richie and CeCe chose to celebrate their union. Nestled in the heart of Scottsdale, McCormick Ranch boasts luscious greenery, breathtaking mountain views, and sparkling lakes, creating an oasis in the desert that perfectly echoed the couple’s enchanting journey. The perfect place for exchanging vows with the one you love.
The picture-perfect setting left guests astounded as Richie and CeCe exchanged vows in a ceremony at the edge of the sparkling McCormick Ranch lake setting. The world-class culinary options at McCormick Ranch added a touch of personalization, satisfying every appetite and ensuring that the celebration was as unique as the couple themselves.
As evident from the reception celebration, Richie and CeCe’s wedding at McCormick Ranch was more than just an event. It was a testament to love. They met against all odds. Their story began with a chance Tinder encounter. This led to a breathtaking wedding in Scottsdale. Their journey shows that love can bloom in unexpected places. Their forever is unique and beautiful.
