Brooke & John in Aurora, OH

With cheerful floral arrangements in bright and pale shades of pink, Brooke Wells and John Costin’s wedding day exuded a garden feel -- even though the entire event was held indoors.   The BrideBrooke Wells, 26, dietician The GroomJohn Costin, 29, surgeon The DateMay 21  It was a rainy day in May when John suggested he and Brooke go to an outdoor garden and wander around. “I was wondering why he was so insistent on doing such an activity on such a miserable day!” she says. Little did she know that her boyfriend was planning to propose in a very special spot in front of a particular hydrangea bush. John’s brother was even supposed to be hiding in the bush to capture the moment on film. But unfortunately, when John dropped to one knee, he picked the wrong spot – and his brother was hiding too far away to pick anything up on tape. Luckily, Brooke still said “yes,” and the couple celebrated with a romantic dinner at a French restaurant later that night.
