The colors of autumn highlighted Karen and Joe's stylish celebration at The Radnor Hotel. The Bride Karen Fosbenner The Groom Joseph Cugini The Date September 11 Karen and Joseph had neighboring rental houses on the Jersey Shore, and became fast friends while living at the beach. But it wasn't until the end of the summer that they shared their first date, which was capped off with a romantic dance in the moonlight on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. A little more than two years passed before Joe's proposal on the Spanish Steps in Rome.

The buttercream Swiss dot pound cake had three square tiers and fresh flowers to match the bridesmaid bouquets.
