Kathleen & Alexander in Altadena, CA

Like most couples, Kathleen and Alexander have many fond memories of the holidays. The Bride Kathleen McCrea, 31, project manager The Groom Alexander Grigorov, 30, restaurant manager The Date October 7 But Christmas 2005 will always be especially memorable. As Alexander was passing glittering ornaments to Kathleen to hang, he pulled out one sparkler that wasn’t meant for the tree. “I heard him say, ‘What about this one?’ and when I turned around he was on one knee with a ring in his hand,” remembers Kathleen.
