Audra & Andrew in Lincoln, NE

Audra and Andrew met as freshmen at Iowa's Drake University, but after a few years of palling around it became clear they were meant to be more than just friends. Several years later -- including a few of dating long-distance while each finished graduate programs -- Andrew surprised Audra by pulling out one more box after a long day of moving into a new apartment. (Hint: it contained a ring!) THE BRIDE Audra Stock, 25, a social worker THE GROOM Andrew Morris, 25, a med student THE DATE May 15 Audra and Andrew's personalities (overall simple and classic, but we both try not to take ourselves too seriously, Audra says) inspired their wedding style -- basic black and white with more than a dash of color. I wanted us to have that classic bride-and-groom look, she says.
