Alana & Noah in Lima, OH

Fate brought Alana and Noah together many times before they realized they were meant to be. The two attended the same high school, had the same group of friends and even dated off and on. It wasn't until a fluke situation at a friend's wedding that they really connected. Both arrived at the wedding alone since Alana's date had canceled at the last minute and Noah was standing in as their friend Will's date. The two ended up hanging out all evening but it wasn't until their first official date, when Noah dumped sour cream on Alana that she knew he was the one. It was hilarious! All I could do was laugh, says Alana. The Bride Alana Schweizer, 29, design consultant The Groom Noah Dray, 30, operations manager The Date October 6 The couple dated for four years but Alana was completely taken aback when Noah proposed. I think my exact words were something like, 'Get serious,' she says. The couple planned a fall wedding with metallic accents in gold, bronze and copper.
