The Bride Patricia Tebbe The Groom Paul Neal The Date February 19 Planning a wedding long-distance wasn’t a problem for Patricia Tebbe -- at least not in the beginning. “I could fly to Minnesota for the weekend to meet with vendors and still be back in time for work Monday morning,” says the financial analyst, who was living in New York City when she started to plan her wedding in St. Paul, near where she had grown up. Things became a bit more challenging, though, when she and her fiance Paul Neal, a management consultant, were transferred to his hometown, London (the transatlantic pair had met there in 2001 while Patricia was traveling).
