Dawn & Paul in Rockport, TX

For their wedding, exactly one year after a fateful first date, Dawn and Paul planned what would be a weekend destination wedding -- for everyone but the two of them! Every detail of the wedding reflected the couple's love for the outdoors and the coast. THE BRIDE Dawn Lucci THE GROOM Paul Brown THE DATE October 30 It may be the call of the wild, or perhaps just a perfectly baited lure, that drew both Dawn and Paul to Rockport, Texas. Dawn, 37, grew up vacationing on the Gulf Coast, and after finishing her residency in Houston (she's an ob-gyn), she moved out there for the slower pace and the great outdoors. Originally from Memphis, Paul, 42, first visited Rockport in 1995 on a fly-fishing vacation. Within six months, he had moved there and begun working as a saltwater fly-fishing guide at the Redfish Lodge (he's now the head fly-fishing guide at the lodge). Their paths crossed while both were volunteering with the local chapter of Ducks Unlimited; within one week of their first date (a trap and skeet-shooting expedition at a local gun club), Paul began shopping for a ring. I have always been an avid hunter, fisherman, shooter, and conservationist, and I had always hoped to find a woman who didn't just tolerate my interests but shared them, he explains. When I asked Dawn to marry me, it wasn't so much a proposal as a confirmation of what we had known from the night of our first date.
