Katherine & Hank in Memphis, TN

Katherine and Hank had heard about each other for years through a mutual friend, but it wasn't until that friend was moving out of town that the two finally met. Katherine and their pal were heading to the movies for a last hurrah, but first her friend wanted to stop at Hank’s. When I met Hank, he was standing at his sink with his back to me. He turned around to shake my hand, and it was definitely love at first sight -- we both remember feeling like we’d been hit by lightning, Katherine says. The Bride Katherine Dudley, 31, bank vice president The Groom Hank Gray, 38, artist The Date October 28 By the time they'd been together just a few months, Katherine and Hank knew that they were made for each other. Hank picked out a ring, and planned to pop the question at a casual birthday barbecue for Katherine's mother. Unfortunately, the ring didn't appear until the next morning. As soon as the box arrived, Hank threw on a suit, bought some flowers, and headed off to surprise Katherine at work. He thought he remembered my office door being frosted glass, but it's not, so pretty much the whole office watched as he got down on his knee and asked me to marry him! Katherine remembers.
