Christine & Gaetano in Concord, MA

Christine and Gaetano were both seniors at Suffolk University when a funny thing happened: They were placed in all the same classes. It didn’t take long for Christine to notice that Gaetano joined all of her study groups and made it so they worked on the same team projects. Over the course of the semester, they became close friends, and not long after, Gaetano asked Christine out on a date. They went to a small restaurant in Boston and shared a bottle of Justin Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 vintage.   The Bride Christine Jones, 27, an account manager  The Groom Gaetano Taranto, 28, a wine store owner  The Date October 3  Three years later, when Christine returned home from a trip with her girlfriends, she found the same bottle in the fridge -- and a diamond ring sitting next to it. She slammed the door closed in shock and found Gaetano on one knee. After some excited tears, the couple started planning their elegant tent wedding at Gaetano’s parents’ farm, opting for a deep-purple color scheme.
