Emily & Nate in Hershey, PA

Four stores and 40 dresses later, Emily Weidman, with the help of her patient boyfriend Nate Meloon, found the perfect outfit for an upcoming wedding. Little did Emily know she would soon be planning a wedding of her own. THE BRIDE Emily Weidman, 22, English teacher THE GROOM Nate Meloon, 24, editorial assistant THE DATE November 22 Emily and Nate wanted an autumn wedding, and they set out to plan an affair to remember. I was impressed with how much Nate got involved and I love him for that, says Emily. Leaves and wheat stood out as decorative statements. The programs, handmade by Nate's family, incorporated elements of both: The covers had cutouts of maple leaves; the pages were tied together with raffia (meant to resemble wheat, which symbolizes prosperity).
