The future is bright for this young couple, wed on a beautiful autumn day just two years ago. They built a solid foundation during their courtship which served them well as they planned their wedding -- for most couples a source of stress and conflict. 

Meet Kristin and Darren Redfield of Winston-Salem, North Carolina who happily share their insight for wedding bliss. I have known Kristin since she was a freshman at Salem Academy. In fact, I remember the exact moment I met her.

Perhaps I remember it so well because we met in the basement of the Salem Academy & College Fine Arts building during a particularly vicious tornado -- one that put us without water, electricity, or telephone --and no cell phone either-- for two weeks! But it is just as likely that Kristin would have impressed me regardless of when and where we met. She projected a maturity and what I call "groundedness" that many women twice her age still seek.
