Marissa Jaret Winokur and Judah Miller, both 33, met in 1994, when she was touring in Grease, and became close friends. Eight years later, after the actress had overcome glandular cancer, she realized how devotedly Miller had "picked my mother up at the airport and sat on the hospital bed." Love soon followed. In 2005 Miller impetuously proposed (without a ring on the beach in East Hampton, N.Y.: "I just couldn't think of a better time." (The two later picked out a 5.5-carat sapphire ring by Harry Winston.) The couple married in a Hawaiian-theme wedding on October 7, 2006.

Play up the theme of your wedding with the help of some inexpensive props. Winokur and Miller bedecked their backyard for an island-style luau by draping the tables with Hawaiian-print fabric and decorating with seashells, tiki torches and a few classically kitschy pink flamingos. "These fun little things really gave the feeling that you had been transported to Hawaii in the fifties," says Winokur.
