Sara & Matthew in Princeton, NJ

Sara was visiting a friend at college when she met Matthew. Sara actually said to her friend, “You should date him!” after commenting on how cute he was. But later that night, Sara and Matthew got to talking and traded numbers. They started dating soon after, and three years later, the couple was making plans to move from New Jersey to Seattle. The Bride Sara Schultz, 24, floral designer and photographer The Groom Matthew Basile, 25, systems administrator The Date October 5 On one of her last days in New Jersey, Sara came home to find that Matthew had a surprise for her -- a new tripod for her camera. He suggested they go to the park to take pictures, and when they got there, he asked Sara to put the timer on the camera to take a photo of them. Just as the shutter went off, he popped the question. For their wedding venue, the couple selected a nearby brewery. A purple-and-brown color scheme with green accents completed their style.
