New Smyrna Beach has a special place in their hearts. It dates back to last year, when they spent a day at the beach together — Callie sitting, Phil pacing the sand, back and forth, back and forth, between Callie and the water. She finally asked him if he was bored and suggested they go […]

It was last September. I was sitting in a parking lot, about to head inside for a meeting with a wedding coordinator, when a new email from a new bride popped into my inbox on my phone. It had the usual information — wedding date, couple’s names. And a simple question: “Wondering if you would […]

They met in a manner that some people might call slightly unconventional: Set up by a mutual friend, Lindsey flew across the country to meet Spencer on a blind date. A flight attendant, Lindsey’s flight was free (although I suggested she should always leave that detail out when she tells the story), but she did […]

Once Nathan began ticking off the things he loves about Melinda, he couldn’t stop.

Their first meeting, according to Denise, included a question from Sammy’s friend: “Do you want me to get her number for you?” To which Sammy replied: “No. I can get it myself.” But he didn’t. However, they still became a couple shortly afterward. Inseparable. Even though they’ve actually spent the majority of their relationship apart — […]

They said it might not be easy for him. Kevin is a soldier — but it’s having his picture taken that makes him uneasy. Or so I had heard. Because Kevin seemed just fine with Danyelle by his side at their engagement session. But maybe that was why: Danyelle was by his side. They got married […]
