Tamara and Steve wanted their guests to be the stars of their June 2 wedding last summer at the Woodway Country Club, where they are members. “It was for our friends and families,” says the bride. “We wanted them comfortable, interacting and dancing!” Steve, who runs a money-management firm, and Tamara, who oversees a family wine business, both lost their spouses before being introduced by a friend of her late husband. “Short romance, short engagement, long marriage” says Tamara. “It was apparent to us that we were meant to be together.”
