Seldom does winter weather hold the key to inner warmth. Yet, when it came to the spark that ignited Jess and Sydney's passion, Mother Nature should take a bow, for she deserves all the credit.

A few years ago, Sydney was traveling from Pittsburgh to D.C. to hang out with old friends. She was all set to depart that Sunday when she checked the forecast and saw a warning for ice and snow. Knowing that D.C. roads can be treacherous in such conditions, Sydney decided to postpone her departure. As luck would have it, she ran into Jess, who convinced her to extend her stay a bit longer—well, a bit has now turned into a lifetime. And they couldn't be happier.

Congratulations!
