» The Main Event: A destination wedding in Puerto Aventuras, Mexico, on the beach June 18 with 30 guests. "Sandals are mandatory," Jeff says.

» How They Met: Both Hokies, the couple met at a Blacksburg bar shortly before they graduated.

» First Impressions: "I kept trying to remember her name. 'Gillian? Gingerlyn?' "It was very distracting." "He couldn't remember my name at first, so I wasn't too impressed. I thought he was cute, though, so I didn't walk away."

» First Date: Dinner at Cafe Asia.

» How He Proposed: During a Fourth of July getaway to the Outer Banks. "I was crying so much I couldn't say 'yes,' but I did put the ring on."

» Pet Names: "She hates when people call her short, so I call her 'Fun Size.'"

» Mmm, Cake: Whatever comes with the resort's package. "Who cares?" Jeff asks. "There's an open bar!"

» The Dress: It's white. She's wearing fuchsia heels, and "I'm more excited about the shoes than the dress."

» Family Traditions: The small wedding, and that her engagement ring was his grandmother's.
