Will you marry me?'" THE BRIDE Catherine Shen, a 30-year-old salesperson THE GROOM David Hack, a 32-year-old importer THE DATE November 2 Cathy and David started the wedding-planning process by visiting a dozen or so hotels in the Boston area. "Since most of Cathy's family was coming from out of town, we wanted the wedding to be held in the city so our guests could easily arrive at the hotel from the airport and make a long weekend out of our wedding," says David. "We decided on the Boston Harbor Hotel because it has breathtaking views."
