Wines for Your Wedding
(and Some Food, Too)

April showers bring May flowers and then June brides. In fact, no matter what time of year you're getting married, choosing the wine can be harder than choosing your beloved. We've gathered some suggestions and examples from the pages of Wine Spectator to help you choose the wine, the food and the honeymoon -- and just to keep you from getting too cynical as you fight the details, we've also included a little wine country romance.

• Keep It Simple: Wine Spectator tasting coordinator James Molesworth explains how he planned his own wedding.
