For a year after being introduced by a mutual friend, Amy Peck and Roger Horton kept bumping into each other without ever going on a date. "Roger, being very British and therefore very proper, finally asked me out in December of 2001," Amy says. The following year, Amy went to England with Roger to meet his family. "The Horton clan was one that made me feel like I was with my own family," remembers Amy. "That's when I knew."
The Bride Amy Peck
The Groom Roger Horton
The Date September 20
Back in Houston, Roger took Amy to "their restaurant" and after a five-course meal, he proposed. Then two friends arrived with champagne and blindfolded Amy. When the blindfold came off, Amy was in Roger's house surrounded by family and friends. "He had even flown my sister in from Boston," remembers Amy. "It was the best night of my life!"
