Annie & Calvin: A Cultural Wedding in Ann Arbor, MI

A shared ride leads to a shared life together for Annie and Calvin in Michigan. The Bride Annie Ho, 30, an environmental scientist The Groom Calvin Lee, 31, a mechanical engineer The Date June 21 When Annie Ho joined a carpool to her weekly Bible study she met Calvin Lee. Love didn't strike right away, but soon the number of commuters dwindled down to just the two of them. It gave us plenty of bonding time, says Annie. On a group venture to the movies, everyone else bowed out, leaving Annie and Calvin to their own devices. They spent the evening talking over ice cream at Ben & Jerry's, and love bloomed. Fast-forward 10 months later. While in her Virginia hometown at a friend's wedding, Annie got a phone call from her parents: Calvin was at their restaurant. I was wondering why he was in town, but I didn't think much of it, she says. That evening she picked him up and headed for her parents' house. Calvin had planned on setting the scene with a trail of candles leading up the driveway, but they'd barely reached the living room and greeted Annie's grandmother before -- ring burning a hole in his pocket --he dropped to one knee and proposed.
