Sonya & Scott in Pittsburgh, PA

Though Valentine's Day and romance go hand in hand, Sonya Reynolds and Scott Zahorchak decided to put a twist on the usual hearts-and-flowers affair with a friendly competition over who was the most romantic. The Bride Sonya Reynolds, 29, speech-language pathologist The Groom Scott Zahorchak, 33, attorney The Date June 21 Sonya took an early lead, wooing Scott with a home-cooked meal. I searched through cookbooks for the perfect recipes for each course, says the 29-year-old speech-language pathologist. It was a great dinner. But Scott had a trump card up his sleeve -- or should we say, in his pocket. The next night, he took her to the spot of their first date, took the knee as Sonya describes it, and asked her to marry him. I was so excited that I pulled him up while saying yes and kissed him, remembers Sonya. I had to agree, Scott was definitely the winner in the most romantic contest!
