When Jamie Gausemel decided to propose to Megan Darch, he knew he wanted a casual and fun situation representative of their five-year relationship. The groom, who works in IT, made Megan, an executive assistant, breakfast at their condo one morning and popped the question as they were dancing to one of their favorite songs. For the wedding, which took place six months later, the couple—who initially met through mutual friends—settled on an elegant family affair and a celebration inspired by Washington.
