Kristin Michelle Jonas and Joseph Daniel Morse grew up 10 miles apart, but although they shared the same dentist and attended rival high schools, they didn't manage to meet until college. A mutual friend introduced them one summer, and a romance was born. THE BRIDE Kristin Michelle Jonas, 29, clinical pharmacist THE GROOM Joseph Daniel Morse, 28, consultant THE DATE March 24 When their college years had passed and real life had begun, Joe took Kristin, a pharmacist, on a whirlwind trip to Northern California, where he was working on a project as a consultant. They strolled Pier 39, toured Alcatraz, and drove across the Golden Gate Bridge. In Napa, they visited wineries, took mud baths, and ended up getting engaged in a vineyard at sunset. The couple spent the rest of their trip glowing and smiling from ear to ear, according to Kristin.

The Bridesmaid Looks
For two days, Kristin shopped at twelve gown shops, before she ended up at Priscilla of Boston in Atlanta where she found the one. The sleeveless gown had a bateau neckline, V-back, and chapel-length train. The waist featured a wide silk-satin cummerbund, and the back of the dress was accented with fabric streamers and flowers.

The Bridal Bouquet
Kristin and Joe married in a traditional Catholic ceremony at the church they regularly attend together. They prepared for their vows by recording all the music that they had chosen for the wedding on a tape, and then listening to the tape and talking through what would be happening at each moment during the ceremony.
