My friend asked me to pick up this Scottish guy for her Super Bowl party and it was the last thing I wanted to do, recalled Amanda Miller. But she and Johnnie Mundell got along so well that they were late to the party and Johnnies one-week stay in L.A. turned into three months. We had such a strong connection it took us three hours in a supermarket just getting six beers and looking for fresh mint so I could make tzatziki, Johnnie said.

Having come to New York to celebrate his fathers birthday, Johnnie, a documentary filmmaker/producer decided to stay in the states instead of returning to Scotland. While working at the Sundance Film Festival he met Amanda's friends who were without Amanda because she had just quit her job and decided not to come. They gave Johnnie a ride to L.A. to visit his family and invited him to the party.

We both knew it was love pretty much right away although we didn't admit it until later, Amanda said, One rainy day Johnnie took my hand and started skipping with me up the street in the rain and I knew I was done for. Recalled Johnnie, I was out there on an adventure looking for something, but I didn't think it was a wife.

After three months he returned to Scotland and the long-distance relationship wasn't without struggles, long separations, large phone bills, many e-mails and sad goodbyes. Finally Amanda spent most of 2005 living in Scotland and the day before she flew home Johnnie proposed. With the engagement ring not yet ready, he tied a piece of string on her finger. I know that we are absolutely meant to be together because we were so tested, added Amanda. If there were any excuse to not be together, we wouldn't be.

Although the couple wanted to marry in Scotland, Amanda's father is disabled and unable to travel. So they settled on something close to nature, the Wayfarers Chapel. With a maximum capacity of 110, bridal party included, the chapel was perfect for the intimate wedding the two wanted.

Amanda's green and brown color scheme complimented the natural setting. Bridesmaids wore green silk dresses while the groomsmen and Johnnie wore their family kilts. A three-piece fiddle band played during the cocktail hour at La Venta Inn, followed by steak and Chilean sea bass for dinner. Dessert was dark chocolate cake layered with chocolate mousse, fresh raspberries and dark chocolate ganache. The DJ kept guests dancing all night.

At 11 p.m., the venue shut the DJ down, and Amanda and Johnnie realized they had hardly danced together. Wanting one last song, guests circled around them, stomping on the wood floor, clapping and singing. It was the most powerful, amazing feeling, Amanda said. The wedding gave us the best start to married life we could ever have had. That day, its so strong in my head and in my heart, recalled Johnnie.

The couple honeymooned in Mexico and returned home pregnant. I am so over the moon that were having a baby, Johnnie said. We are a team, I feel so supported with her.
