Deanna & Mark in Pittsburgh, PA

Of her wedding-style inspiration, Deanna says I love leopard and I wanted to pull off a very fun, classy, elegant, nontraditional look. When I told my in-laws-to-be, they thought I was nuts! But Deanna and Mark pulled it off: Subtle leopard print details gave their wedding day that little bit of personalization all couples crave. The Bride Deanna Froehlich The Groom Mark Olivani The Date September 4 Deanna, 29, and Mark, 30, officially met during carnival week at Washington & Jefferson College, when her best friend decided to hook them up -- literally. She handcuffed us together at a party so we had to talk to each other all night, explains Deanna, now a substitute teacher. The pair dated for a while, and then kept in touch even after Mark, now a manager for a lumber company, moved to Texas. Eventually they started dating again, and long-distance visits became a habit -- and then Mark surprised Deanna with a birthday present she'll never forget: a gorgeous engagement ring!
