Stacy & Joe in Cumberland Foreside, ME

A 104-degree June day didn't stop Stacy Mahan and Joe Martin from having the day of their dreams -- the couple and their 185 guests beat the heat by dancing the night away under the stars. The Bride Stacy Anne Mahan, 27, physical therapist The Groom Joseph R. Martin Jr., 32, character animation student The Date June 25 Four years after they started dating, on the day before they left for a two-week European vacation, Stacy came home to an elaborately constructed scene. Rose petals peppered the stairs which led to candles, a statue of a dog, and Joe's laptop running a slideshow of photographs of the couple with their lovable canine, Murphy. A letter next to the arrangement instructed Stacy to turn the (statue) dog's collar to the left, where she discovered a beautiful ring.
