Dina & Jeff in Jacksonville, FL

Dina had seen Jeffrey out on the town pretty often, since the two shared mutual friends. He had been eyeing me for quite some time, Dina says, and one night I saw one of my friends talking to him, so I joined in the conversation. Later, the group went back to Dina’s place, and from then on the two were inseparable. The Bride Dina Mancuso, 26, marketing consultant The Groom Jeffrey DeMarco, 33, director of marketing The Date March 11 One day, Dina and Jeff’s Chihuahua, Pete, came up to greet Dina at the door after work -- just like always -- but today something was different. He had an engagement ring attached to his collar. I walked into the bedroom, and Jeff asked me to marry him, Dina remembers. Of course I said yes.
