Heather & Rick in Maui, HI

Heather De Carlo and Rick Fawcett met in a college drama class; the underlying plot was their mutual attraction. The Bride: Heather De Carlo The Groom: Rick Fawcett The Date: July 8 After graduation the elementary school teachers took positions in two faraway lands -- Heather in New Zealand; Rick in Japan. An elaborate long-distance courtship took place -- phone calls, letters, and countless mix tapes of love songs crossed the ocean. It was a very romantic time in our lives, Rick recalls. And love prevailed. After one year apart, Rick moved to New Zealand, and four years later he proposed in their hometown of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
