Natalie & Ed in Charlotte, NC

After four years of dating, Natalie Morgan and Edward Nesbitt went to Las Vegas for a weekend of music and fun. When no ring was produced on the trip and her hopes were slightly dashed, Natalie decided to stop guessing when a proposal might come her way. She didn't have to wait long: Ed asked her to marry him the very next weekend. THE BRIDE Natalie Morgan, a nurse THE GROOM Edward Nesbitt, a mortgage broker THE DATE February 16 The planning got off to an easy start as many vendor selections, including the bakery and florist, were made based on Natalie's two brothers' weddings. She also chose the venue and band after enjoying them at a good friend's reception. Natalie worked closely with her mother on the rest of the details. The hard part was picking the date, because everyone had an opinion, she says. The couple finally chose February 16th, which worked out wonderfully as it was a beautiful, sunny day.
