Renee & Keith in Atlanta, GA

Hues of pink and ivory were the perfect compliment for an elegant wedding. The Bride Renee Coppolino, 28, insurance broker The Groom Keith Keroack, 28, voltage specialist The Date March 18 Sometimes, the love of your life is lurking right beneath your nose. Such was the case for Renee Coppolino and Keith Keroack. The two had known each other since middle school but never considered a romantic relationship with one another. As a matter of fact, it wasn't until after college -- when Keith and Renee were living an hour apart -- that a love interest sparked. But once these two got together, their courtship made up for lost time, culminating in one unforgettable proposal for Renee. Almost two years after their first date, Renee walked into her office to find a green, sand-filled bucket with a message in a bottle that included an invitation to go on an adventure and weekend wardrobe instructions thoughtfully provided by Keith. She also found a one-way plane ticket to Sea Island. I knew that that would be the weekend I had been waiting for, Renee says. When she arrived on the island the next morning, a car took her to a private beach, and there was Keith, who immediately bent down on one knee and asked her to marry him. Of course I said yes, Renee says. It was absolutely perfect!
