The couple have always loved to try new things, so it was no surprise that their NYC nuptials contained an unexpected twist! THE BRIDE Christine Buono, 30, kindergarten teacher THE GROOM Mark Tuchman, 30, equity salesman THE DATE February 16 Six years after they first met at the annual Feast of San Genarro in New York's Little Italy, Mark proposed.
