Amy & Zeno in Albany, OR

Although they’re both from Oregon originally, Amy and Zeno met in San Francisco when they worked in the same building. Their friendship quickly blossomed into a romance, and later the two then moved back to Portland, Oregon, to be near family. The Bride Amy Gilmore, 38, general manager The Groom Zeno Moutzouris, 35, sommelier The Date September 12 Zeno told Amy that he wanted to have a traditional engagement, which meant waiting until he had a ring before proposing. So Amy was shocked one December evening when Zeno got down on one knee and popped the question without it! “We both started crying and laughing -- it was perfect!” says Amy. Her family property had always been a special place for the two of them, so they decided to host their wedding and reception there.
