Lori & Charles in Atlanta, GA

After a 10-month engagement, Lori and Charles wed at the elegant Druid Hills Golf Club in Atlanta. The Bride Lori Ann Castonguay, a 30-year-old event planner The Groom Peter (Charles) Scholle, a 36-year-old attorney The Date June 25 When Lori arrived at the annual Snake Nation Pig Gig in Atlanta one October evening, she planned on spending a fun night with her girlfriends, eating barbecue and socializing. Lori didn’t expect to meet Charles but they ended up talking at one of the large bonfires. When Lori’s friend (and her ride home) decided to leave, she had no choice but to go along, leaving Charles behind—but only temporarily. She soon returned in her own car to continue their conversation and later agreed to a date the following week. Almost a year later, on a trip to Japan, Charles asked Lori if she was happy…happy enough to marry him, that is. Once she accepted his proposal, the two headed to a local bar to celebrate, but since everyone around them spoke only Japanese, they couldn’t spread the news. So their first few hours as a newly engaged couple were positively personal: “Just something for the two of us to share that night,” says Lori.
