Remember Michelle & Kevin? They were the lucky winners of our License to Wed contest a few weeks ago. We caught up with them after they returned from Hollywood to get the full scoop on their trip to Tinsel Town. It turns out they had a fabulous time rubbing elbows with celebrities, visiting swanky restaurants, shopping on Rodeo Drive, and relaxing in their Hollywood Suite.

When they arrived in LA, they were taken by limo to the world famous Chateau Marmont in the Hollywood hills. Michelle and Kevin said they couldn't believe their eyes! For those of you who haven't heard of Chateau Marmont--it's the epitome of LA luxury and a favorite amongst the rich and famous. In fact, Michelle and Kevin spotted Minnie Driver and a few other notable movie stars in the lobby! Apparently, Leonardo DiCaprio is a regular customer at the Chateau as well.

The first night, after a day of relaxing at the Chateau, they met some old pals at Yamashiro Restaurant perched on a hill overlooking the infamous Hollywood sign. They had a great time with friends while taking in the fabulous view.

The next morning the couple took to the streets and walked Hollywood Boulevard for shopping and sight seeing. They visited the "walk of fame" at the Chinese Theater and snapped a few photos along the way. Next as a birthday present to each other (they both just had birthdays!) Michelle and Kevin each received a full-body massage and blissfully headed back to their hotel to get ready for the License to Wed Premiere!

After Michelle & Kevin got spiffed up, the amazing Mariane Lozano took the following gorgeous photos of the couple in their suite, in the limo, and as they arrived at the actual premiere. These two are the cutest, don't you think?

They arrived at the premiere just as Robin Williams was pulling up! Keeping their composure, Michelle and Kevin made their way down the red carpet alongside the films' other stars: Mandy Moore and John Krazinski!

The movie, Michelle and Kevin, said was, "very funny! We really enjoyed it. Robin Williams was hilarious as always! [W]e laughed the most through the scene at the mall when they are registering [for wedding gifts] while trying to take care of the two robotic babies!"

After the movie, they made their way to the Premiere After Party. Michelle and Kevin agreed this was their favorite Hollywood experience of all. The party was held on a parking garage rooftop overlooking the city. It was fully carpeted and decorated in a Jamaican wedding theme to mimic scenes from the movie. They stood next to Billy Crystal, Ben Stiller and his wife Kristine Taylor and the CEO of Warner Brothers. They had an amazing time people- watching and taking in the scenery.

Michelle and Kevin had this to say about their overall experience, "We had an amazing time that we will never forget. And we thank [mywedding.com and Warner Bros.] for the memories that we'll relish for years to come. You really helped to make our engagment and wedding planning experience more wonderful than we ever dreamed it would be!! Thank You!"
