Bride’s Book – Fowler

Betsy Martin and Stephen Fowler met at the altar of Presidio Chapel in San Francisco, California, to exchange vows on April 27th. Betsy is the daughter of Karen and Gary Martin of Newport Beach, California, and Stephen is the son of Beth and David Fowler of Mission Hills, Kansas. Betsy’s sister, Lotte Martin, served as maid of honor, and Nick Innocenti served as the best man. 

Both families celebrated the couple during their grand wedding weekend. The evening prior to the ceremony, the couple was feted with a rehearsal dinner at the Presidio Golf and Concordia Club; and the gorgeous wedding reception was held at The Golden Gate Club at the Presidio. Following a honeymoon in Greece, the couple is at home in San Francisco, California, where Betsy is employed with Lyterian Therapeutics, and Stephen is employed with Dysrupt.
