Becky & Ryan in Tulsa, OK

“We first met in sixth grade and dated for about four days,” Becky laughs. Though it didn’t work out in middle school, Becky and Ryan were reunited years later through a mutual friend. And after a few emails, the two got together at a local Tulsa pub to discuss law school -- Becky was applying, Ryan was already in -- and before the night was over, they were an item. The Bride Rebecca Jurek, 26, law student The Groom Ryan Heatherman, 26, U.S. Marine Corps attorney The Date June 17 The proposal came six months later as Becky was preparing to leave for law school. The couple had planned a trail run, so Ryan spent the morning putting up signs along the route and leaving flowers and a note at the spot where he would pop the question. As the two journeyed along the trail, Becky was completely unsuspecting -- she thought Ryan was just doing something nice to send her off. “It was the perfect proposal,” Becky remembers. “His note said that he had a question for me and when I turned around after reading it, he was on one knee and asking me to marry him.”
