A wedding by the water can feel like a fairytale—and when Lake Tahoe's not overrun with tourists, it makes for a pretty sparkling wedding site, too.

Talia and Brock met the old fashioned high school way: Talia thought Brock was cute, and her friend told him so. Unlike most tales of high school puppy love, though, this bit of gossip led to a first date and, eight years later, to a living room proposal. The two wed amid towering evergreen trees beside the shimmering lake in a woodsy-majestic setting suitable for a princess bride.
