Meagan & Jake in Little Compton, RI

Meagan and Jake first met at her cousin's Rhode Island wedding. He was living in Boston and she in D.C., but what started out as a friendship over email and on the phone soon became a long-distance romance. After a year, Meagan moved up to Boston so the two could be together. The Bride Meagan Giberson, 27, pharmaceutical sales coordinator The Groom Jake King, 36, financial services wholesaler The Date September 23 Three years after they first met, Meagan and Jake made plans to attend an event with friends on the rooftop of the Ritz-Carlton in Boston. Jake told Meagan that beforehand they’d be grabbing cocktails in one of their friend's rooms at the hotel. But when they arrived, Meagan found the room was empty -- except for roses, champagne, and chocolate-covered strawberries! After toasting their newly engaged status with some bubbly, the couple went up to the roof for an evening of dancing. The following fall, Meagan and Jake returned to the state where they’d first met to wed.
