BRENT & ALISON

"Brent is active duty in the US Army. I, on the other hand, have no experience whatsoever with the military lifestyle," says the Las Vegas, Nev., bride. "Somehow my camo-loving man convinced me to join him for one of his favorite hobbies – paintball! We had just finished a game and were walking off the field when he pulled me aside. We were standing on the paintball field when he got down on one knee and asked me if I would marry him. Between sobs I managed to say, 'Yes!' It was completely unexpected, but I'm glad he proposed in his own way."
