Aimee & Kevin in Queens, NY

Aimee and Kevin, who met as neighbors in a Manhattan apartment building, chose a very different venue for their wedding: a farm. We live in the city but we're country lovers at heart, Kevin explains. THE BRIDE Aimee Brill THE GROOM Kevin Bott THE DATE September 5 Not all proposals go as intended. Kevin, 31, had a whole morning planned, in which he was going to wake up early Thanksgiving morning, make his girlfriend, Aimee, 30, breakfast in bed, have a long talk about his feelings on marriage, and eventually, propose. But Kevin overslept (his shift at the restaurant where we worked the night before went later than he had planned), and when he got up, he recalls, I chattered like an idiot while I made some runny eggs and 'crispy' pancakes -- and eventually asked for Aimee's hand in marriage. Prior to this Kevin had been making Aimee think that he was committed to her and that was all we needed, he says -- but behind the scenes, he was designing a pink sapphire and diamond ring to surprise her with during the proposal. Runny eggs and all, We kissed, cried, and then got ready to go celebrate Thanksgiving with her family, recalls Kevin.
