Tamara, 27, is an administrative professional. Warren, 33, is a copywriter. They live in Silver Spring.

» The Main Event: A semiformal event Oct. 17 at the Navy Yard. "We're both military brats. ... Navy Yard has several historic ships and a very nice waterfront setting."

» How They Met: Warren posted an ad on Craigslist looking for friends. Tammy responded. "After a year," he says, "we became a couple, and it's been blissful ever since."

» First Date: They watched "Team America: World Police." "I was waiting for him to show up, and I saw a guy walking in. I thought, 'He's cute, but too bad he isn't my date.' Turned out he was."

» How He Proposed: He had planned to ask during a picnic, but when she was having a bad day at work, "I thought coming to her job and proposing would be a memorable gesture that would cheer her up." He popped the question in the hallway; when she went back into her office, she started crying.

» Stupidest Fight: He left a doggie bag out on the counter. "Tammy claimed I ruined her food and gave me the cold shoulder for two days — all for a pile of pasta." "And yet Warren still leaves the milk out," Tammy says.

» When She Knew: "Nine months after we met. After all that time, we still had a lot to talk about."
