celebrations Jennifer Hoff and Mike Soe Becky White and Gary Halverson For Becky White and Gary Halverson, December really is the most wonderful time of the year, thanks to their journey to the altar that began Christmas morning 2011. Becky had just opened her presents, and afterward Gary asked if there was anything she didn't get. Becky responded, "A diamond ring," and on the spot, Gary surprised her with a proposal. The pair wed the following December. Becky is the daughter of LuAnn and Tom White. Gary is the son of Barbara Anderson. The couple lives in Middleton.

After meeting at the TV news station where they both worked, the pair spent two years apart—but all the while, kept their relationship intact. Finally, they reunited and exchanged vows in a vintage-inspired ceremony Oct. 7, 2012. Jennifer is the daughter of Patti and Chris Hoff. Mike is the son of Mary and Clarence Soe. The pair resides in Fitchburg.

So it's no wonder they incorporated local touches into their Memorial Union wedding Sept. 29, 2012, including Bloom Bake Shop cupcakes and Ale Asylum beer. Kara is the daughter of Beth Steimer and David Jeter. Scott is the son of Beth and Dick Langer. The couple lives in Madison.
