Carrie & Josh in Toledo, OH

Soon after Josh Schulze proposed to Carrie Carlisle, he was accepted to a business school in another state. This gave the Ohio natives two things to celebrate but only six months to pull off a modern art gallery gala. The Bride Carrie Carlisle, 30, graphic designer The Groom Josh Schulze, 27, student, Harvard Business School The Date July 9 A mutual friend introduced Carrie and Josh at a charity disco party fundraiser. After Christmas Eve midnight mass, Carrie came home to find rose petals leading her to a large bouquet of roses. The card attached to the blooms simply said, Turn around. When she did, she saw Josh on his knees waiting to pop the question. Soon after the engagement, Josh was accepted to the MBA program at Harvard Business School, which meant the pair would be moving to Boston in August. We decided we would rather get married before we moved, so we somehow managed to do all the planning in less than six months, Carrie says
