Miriam & Derek in Burlington, Ontario

Initially, Miriam Hansen thought Derek Nay was too quiet for her. Little did she know a few years later, she'd be planning a summer wedding with help and special touches from friends and family. The Bride Miriam Hansen, 31, pediatrician The Groom Derek Nay, 30, medical resident The Date July 16 Miriam was at home one day, when her housemate came bursting through the front door, saying, Miriam, I've met the perfect guy for you! Miriam was skeptical of her notorious-matchmaker friend, but agreed on a group outing for ice cream. After 24-hour shifts at the hospital, neither Miriam nor Derek was in the mood to impress, and they ended up not speaking for about a year -- until Derek called her out of the blue and asked her to dinner
