Taryn, 29, is a lawyer. Graham, 39, is a telecommunications manager. They live in Arlington.

» The Main Event: A laid-back beachy wedding in the British Virgin Islands on May 31. Taryn will walk down the sandy "aisle" barefoot.

» How They Met: At a Dublin pub. Graham was visiting from London for a boys weekend, and Taryn had traveled from South Dakota to run the Dublin Marathon. After hearing his presumptuous "hello," Taryn tried to walk past him, but her buddies stopped. "He turned out to be charming in the end!"

» First Impressions: He says: "A long blonde hottie!" For Taryn, it was simple: "Who doesn't love an accent?"

» First Date: A week later, Graham took Taryn on a walking tour of London. "We hung out in Hyde Park and talked about how we both love to travel," she says.

» How He Proposed: He got down on one knee on a beach in Swakopmund, Namibia. Afterward, they popped into a nearby bar and toasted their good news with locals and ex-pats.

» Most Hated Clothing Item: "He has a checkered jacket I try to throw out every year, but somehow it always ends up back in the 'keep' pile."

» Stupidest Fight: "Taryn gave a pizza guy an $8 tip on a $12 pizza!"
