Dec. 15 – Not even a sleet storm could stop Martin Uria as he traveled from Delaware to New York to propose to his college sweetheart, Deirdre Byrne. “I immediately said yes, kissed him, and jumped up and down,” says Byrne, the lifestyle editor for Kaboose.com in Manhattan, who met Uria in 2003 while an undergrad at Ithaca College. Uria, a consultant for a computer company in Manhattan, wed Byrne at the Our Lady of the Magnificent Catholic Church in Kinnelon, NJ, before escaping to Hawaii for their honeymoon.
