Lori & Daniel in Rhinebeck, NY

Lori and Daniel's Hudson Valley wedding style was chic and artistically inspired -- as was Daniel's unique proposal. THE BRIDE Lori Leckliter, a senior designer for The Limited THE GROOM Daniel Slotkin, a financial portfolio manager THE DATE September 28 For a hip Chelsea art gallery, it was a most unusual exhibit: Displayed in the back room was just one framed photograph, titled Unity, hung there by Daniel Slotkin. The photo was part of Daniel's plot when he invited his then-girlfriend, Lori Leckliter, to attend a friend's art opening at the gallery. The couple wandered through the empty space until they came to the back room, where Lori was shocked to see this photo of the two of them, accompanied by a very touching plaque. He then got on his knee and asked me to marry him, she says. Afterward, they met up with friends (naturally, all of them were in on the plan) for champagne.
