Jill & Nate in Dublin, OH

A deserted stretch of beach on Harbour Island in the Bahamas holds a special place in the hearts of Jill and Nate. They stumbled upon the beach, and the lone tree that sits on it, during one of their first vacations as a couple. The beauty of the tree really struck me, and I took numerous photos of it, says Jill. When we came home I had one of the photos framed, and it now hangs above our fireplace. The Bride Jill Shien, 28, housewife The Groom Nate Lindamood, 34, mortgage officer The Date August 24 The couple returned to Harbour Island last year, and before dinner one night Nate suggested they stop at the tree and watch the sunset. It was there that Nate got down on one knee and proposed.
