The Love Story

Aaron Delesie
Three months after running into Sánchez at an L.A. party in 2005, Winter says, "It finally crossed my mind to ask her out." Their sushi dinner went well, so the next date was an entire weekend away in Mammoth Lakes, Calif.

Winter popped the question on a midnight kayak ride through a bioluminescent bay in Puerto Rico in December 2007. "I was petrified she would drop the ring," he says. "It never left the box. She accepted; I shut the box and told her she could see it again on land."

The Dress(es)

Aaron Delesie
The crystal-and-pearl-embellished silk organza gown (center) Sánchez wore for the ceremony had only one glitch: She had trouble walking in it! "I had to kick my legs to move down the aisle," says Sánchez. The actress slipped into the flirty silk-satin chiffon dress with feathers (right) for her first dance, and wore the silk-and-organza gown (left) later in the night.

The Reception

Aaron Delesie
Milly Centeno of MC Coordinators in Puerto Rico planned the party and used fiery cymbidium orchids dressed up guests' place settings at the reception, which was held at the Caribe Hilton Hotel. "By 4 A.M., I was in jeans and a tank top," Sánchez says. "Security told me they'd never seen a bride be the last to leave!"
