Bridget & Kevin in Washington, DC

Bridget and Kevin met in their dormitory at Catholic University. Kevin was studying with a friend when Bridget introduced herself and offered to help them out with their work. Being poor college students, they went to McDonald's for their first date (Kevin's family heard about their low budget date and sent their son a gift certificate to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse!). Even though their next date was at a fancy steakhouse, they both realized that it was the company, not the food that mattered. The Bride Bridget Guetle, 27, director of marketing The Groom Kevin Wise, 27, foreign exchange options broker The Date March 29 Eight years into their relationship, Bridget was living in Washington, DC, and Kevin was in New York City. Tired of the long-distance relationship, Kevin showed up at the Jefferson Memorial (where Bridget was supposed to meet friends) and surprised her with a proposal. She was shocked not only by the engagement, but that he was in DC! Less than a year later they married in a spring wedding in the city where they first met.
