The Love Story
Six months after Matthew Perry introduced them at a 2004 barbecue, actor Jonathan Silverman, 41, proposed to Close to Home actress Jennifer Finnigan, 28, in a New Zealand rain forest.

A year and a half later, while vacationing in Mykonos, Greece, recalls Silverman, "we looked at each other and said, 'This spot is stunning. It's idyllic, if we were ever to elope.'" The next year, on June 7, the couple did just that, tying the knot outside a rented seaside villa the bride calls "gorgeous and rustic and bohemian" on Kanalia Bay in Mykonos.

The Ceremony
Finnigan requested that guests don white or cream to complement the beauty of the island's architecture. "We wed at sunset on a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean with our closest friends," says the bride. "Everyone was included in some way-reading a poem or playing a song. It was truly the most perfect moment." Adds the groom, "We wanted it to be incredibly personal and intimate."

The Attire
At his bride's request, Silverman wore a cream-colored linen suit and sandals. Finnigan wore a gauzy Empire-waist Junko Yoshioka gown.

The Bouquet

The Decor
Borrowing from an age-old Irish custom, the bride also carried a horseshoe on her big day, which the couple later took home as a keepsake. "Tradition states that after your wedding, you hang it on your wall, pointing up," explains Finnigan, who personalized her horseshoe, a gift from a friend, with flowers. "It's supposed to bring your home good luck and good wishes."

The Details
As many Greek brides do, Finnigan wrote her female guests' names on the bottoms of her shoes. Whoever's name wears off most by night's end is supposedly next to wed.

The Tradition
"We loved breaking the plates!" says the groom of the Greek practice of each guest smashing a dish.
