The Bride Lisa Crownover, 32, assignment editor The Groom Dan Zacharias, 43, media relations The Date October 14 One evening after arriving home from a dinner party, Dan stooped down to tie his shoe. “Look what I found,” he said. “I found a lucky penny. You should have it.” Clueless, Lisa told him he should keep it since he found it. When they got inside he persuaded her to take a closer look. When she examined it herself, she saw that the penny was attached to a brass plate engraved with “Lisa, will you marry me?” “I’m sure he said something really nice about being lucky, but I didn’t hear him,” Lisa says. She quickly said yes, and the couple married in an elegant fall wedding.
