True love is hard to fake. That’s why we asked soon-to-be-wed Megan and Taylor to show us how it’s done. The couple took time out from planning their own summer wedding to be our models. With beautiful St. Albans as our backdrop, they prove that all you really need (besides a cute outfit or two) is love, from first date to the rest of their lives.
