Meredith & Nathan in Parkville, MO

“We met in an unusual way,” admits Meredith. Nathan spotted Meredith’s MySpace page and snooped around a little bit before sending her an email to ask her out on a date. “Without ever meeting him or knowing much about him, I accepted,” she says. The couple hit it off famously and dated for a year-and-a-half before getting engaged. The Bride Meredith Smith, 26, sales representative The Groom Nathan Owings, 30, an attorney The Date May 8 Nathan set his proposal plan in motion right before Meredith was scheduled to fly to Hollywood for work. “He picked a fight the day before to throw me off,” she says. But the squabble was all a ruse—Nathan brought her home from the airport after he secretly spelled out “I love you” with peanut butter M&Ms (her favorite!) back at their house. Meredith noticed a card sitting by the candy and read “P.S.” When she turned around to ask Nathan what the P.S. was for, he was down on one knee with a ring.
