Corey & Jim in Key Largo, FL

When it comes to designing the perfect wedding day, many couples look to their proposal for inspiration. An engagement in Italy may lead to a Tuscan wedding feast; popping the question while on a bike ride could inspire a cycling logo. For Corey, an associate equity research analyst, and Jim, a custom interiors painter and artist, it was Jim's chosen proposal spot (the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo) that dictated their plan of action. The Bride Corey Hajim The Groom Jim Sperber The Date April 24 While on vacation in Florida, Jim, 36, had a little surprise for Corey, 33: It was 7:30 a.m. and I was a little groggy. Jim was being sweet and saying cute things when all of a sudden I realized he was slipping a ring on my finger and proposing! Corey recalls.
