Stacy & Shawn in Salt Lake City, UT

Come Valentine’s Day, Stacy King was suspicious that her boyfriend, Shawn Hart, might propose -- but when Shawn didn’t pop the question while the two were dancing under the stars, Stacy figured it wasn’t going to be that night. When they got back to her apartment and exchanged gifts, Shawn shocked Stacy by pulling the ring from behind one of the cushions of her couch -- he’d hidden it there earlier that day (and luckily, she hadn’t discovered it!). The Bride Stacy King, 24, buyer for a health foods store The Groom Shawn Hart, 25, SEO technician for an Internet marketing firm The Date May 4 Stacy and Shawn chose a reception site that Stacy had been to when she was a teenager: Red Butte Gardens in Salt Lake City. “When we went back to look at it after we were engaged, they had just built the Orangerie, and seeing how beautiful it was made my decision more firm,” Stacy explains. Shawn chose the wedding colors, brown with blue, because he hoped to wear a brown tuxedo, and blue is a favorite hue of the bride’s. “We wanted it to be elegant, but not too fancy,” Stacy says.
