Jennifer & Chris in Cincinnati, OH

Some people spend their whole lives waiting for a twist of fate to introduce them to the one. Jennifer and Chris, on the other hand, simply showed up for high school. Not that love struck like a thunderbolt: The two didn’t date in school and lost touch after graduating. But at a Cincinnati Reds game in April 2001, they reunited, rekindling a friendship and sparking something more. The next day Jennifer and Chris took in dinner and another Reds game and they've been together ever since. The Bride Jennifer Oppt, 32, flight attendant The Groom Chris Underhill, 33, knife company president The Date September 11 One year and three months later, Chris proposed. But Chris didn’t spring the ring on Jennifer directly. Instead, Jennifer came home from a trip one day to be greeted by their exuberant dog, Reggie. When she leaned in to pet her pup, she found a ring tied around his neck and looked up to see Chris down on one knee.
