Pauline & Garry in Washington, DC

When Pauline and Garry joined an adult kickball league, they had no idea it would lead to love. A mutual friend introduced them at a post-game event. They spent the rest of the evening talking and when Pauline mentioned she would soon be going abroad for work, Garry knew he had to act fast. He called her the next day and asked her out to lunch. The two kept in contact while Pauline was traveling and when she got back, they went on their second date. The Bride Pauline Perederii, 32, a program director The Groom Garry Devinger, 39, a consulting manager The Date September 19 Fast forward almost three years -- Garry took Pauline out to dinner for her birthday and then they walked to the Washington Monument. He pulled out a bottle of wine and offered to show Pauline one of her birthday presents. That’s when he reached into his pocket and pulled out a ring. Their church wedding was 14 months later and styled in a monochromatic purple color scheme with elements representing Pauline’s Russian heritage.
