Elizabeth and Dan met in college, and lived in D.C. for a few years before moving to New York. Still, it was important for Elizabeth to wed near her hometown of Fairfax, Va. "I wanted a fall wedding, because D.C. is so beautiful in October," she says. For their nuptials, Dan wore a Jos. A. Banks tuxedo.
