The Happy Couple

mwds10673_win11_jen_kevin_4_002.jpg

Early in their romance, Jennifer and Kevin often found themselves struggling for the right words. "In class, we were only allowed to speak Spanish," says Jenni, a chef, who met Kevin, a history teacher, on a study-abroad program in Spain. They eventually broke through the language barrier, and four years later, at Blackberry Farm in Tennessee, the Atlanta couple expressed their lifelong love and commitment to each other -- this time without any trouble at all.

Here, a swing hanging in the farm's front lawn makes for a beautiful photo op.
