DW: Odessa Noelle (age 22, journalist)The Wedding:
First Home:
Odessa met Graham when she was interviewing Graham about his first movie. She was nervous meeting him because it was her first solo interview, and he was nervous because it was his first as well. It was awkward in the beginning, but they warmed up to each other and had a good time laughing about how anxious they both were. He made the first move, but it was Odessa that later proposed. Graham was on his way to an interview about his new TV show with another journalist. However, when he showed up, there was Odessa, on her knee, proposing. Obviously, he said yes and they married the following summer. It was a small, outdoor wedding near their home in England.

Write:
Kenneth went out to a bar with some friends one cold December night. As fate would have it, Lara was just setting up her equipment on stage and getting ready to perform. He went up to her and introduced himself, and even though she didn't seem interested at first, he returned after her set and bought her a drink. After some light persuading, he got her to agree to go out to dinner with him the following night, and the two quickly became inseparable. Ken proposed in May, after only 5 months of dating, and the two were married on the beaches of Maui in late August, staying for a two-week honeymoon in the late-summer paradise. Lara's parents have agreed to let the young couple live in their vacation home on the lake until Lara gets on her feet with her music career and they can afford to buy their own property.

DW: Serafina Rosa (age 22, photographer)Christophe and Serafina met at the photo exhibition of a mutual friend of theirs, Ronan. Christophe was staring at a photo their friend had taken of Serafina when she was crying, when she came to stand besides him. She asked him what he thought about it and without looking at her he said the shot was so perfect that he wished he could reach in the picture and hold that beautiful woman and comfort her. He said the that he wished he knew what the woman was feeling so sad about at that time. She replied that the woman was crying because she felt lonely. Christophe turned his head and found himself staring at the sad eyes of the woman in the picture. Before he realised what he was doing, he had pulled her towards him and held her. She wasn't expecting that, but allowed him to hold her. Later they went to her place and talked all throughout the night and then went to the rooftop to watch the sun come up. They both fell in love that night. Three months later Christophe proposed to Serafina and she accepted. Their wedding was kept small and only their closest friends and relatives were present. They got married in the forest and their mutual friend was invited to take the pictures at their wedding. They bought a house together and went to Firenze (where Serafina's family originated from) for their honeymoon.

Couple's First House
Calliope and Dexter met while taking a pottery class together and immediately hit it off. Calliope had been born and raised in Victoria, BC, Canada, the daughter of a Greek immigrant and a Canadian mother. Dexter had been born and raised in Liverpool, England, but liked British Columbia so much when on a visit that he decided to stay. The couple were living together in Victoria when Dexter popped the question at their favourite Italian restaurant. Calliope was naturally thrilled, and the couple decided to marry and honeymoon way down in Florida, where Calliope's grandparents lived, so that they could attend. They had a small, classic wedding on the beach before returning to Victoria to settle down.

DW: Laurel Kathleen MacNamara (age 22, grad student, English)Laurel and Tom Cowry met as undergrads, when she was a freshman and he a junior. They started dating about six months after making each others' acquaintance through a mutual friend. They were together until Laurel was a senior and Tom was beginning his second year of graduate school, and then one mild summer evening, Tom took Laurel out to the lakeshore to look at the stars and asked her to marry him. Now, one year later, with Laurel finishing her first year of graduate studies and Tom finishing his third, they've tied the knot! Both were very pleased. Due to the fact that they're both students yet, their honeymoon was only a weekend hotel stay in Chicago, where they live. It wasn't very grand, but being together made it a weekend to remember forever.Here they are dancing at their wedding recepton, sharing a private joke: And here's their apartment building. It's not exactly heaven, but it's home for now:Array

Everett and Anna met during college; she was sophomore, he was senior. Their friend had introduced them at a Christmas party. From then on, they were joined at the hip. During their 2nd year as a couple, Everett knew she was "the one" and decided he was going to propose. With her father's blessing, Everett proposed to Anna Christmas morning. Their wedding was everything (and more) that they could dream of. It took place on Anna's father's vineyard in Northern California. With about 150 people in attendance, the couple, family and friends danced the night away underneath a sheer, silk tent. Their honeymoon was even better. They traveled to Fiji and spent a week in their own private hut in paradise.When the honeymoon was over, the two returned home to their brand new house right outside of San Francisco, California.

DW: Elodie Maria (Dunmore) "Dee" (age 22, florist)Isabella Regenbogen, Milo's cousin, thought that her roommate Dee (19 at the time) needed a boyfriend. She invited Milo over for dinner, and it turned out Milo and Dee had been in first and second grade together, before Milo moved. They got along very well, and Milo asked her out after a few more meetings organized by Isabella. They were engaged only a year after that. On their anniversary they were going to have a romantic dinner together. Milo was planning on proposing to Dee that evening, too. However, that morning, Dee went over and surprised Milo in the morning before work, and she gave him a lovely arrangement of flowers. Milo was so overwhelmed that he took the ring out of it's drawer and proposed on the spot.
Because they were so young, they waited another year and a half to get married. They had a wonderful wedding and their honeymoon was in Paris and other European cities.Milo is a graphics designer and Dee works in a very popular flower shop. They live in a house they like to call their "log cabin".This is a picture of their wedding (with Milo's father and Dee's mother in the picture): Their house:
