Mie & Byron in Boston, MA

Personal touches and crimson hues complemented Mie and Byron's sophisticated wedding. The Bride Mie Asakawa The Groom Byron Powell The Date June 11 A training seminar for work led to much more than computer expertise for Mie and Byron. Though the two worked in the same department of the same university, separate buildings had been enough to keep Mie, who was a help desk specialist, and Byron, a desktop specialist, from meeting. Once they did, however, the attraction was instant. “We hit it off right away and were much more interested in each other than the training class,” says Mie, who’s now 25. The two started emailing daily and hanging out after work. A year after they met, Byron, now 28, surprised Mie with a trip to Negril, Jamaica, where he proposed by the ocean.
