Real Weddings: Andrea Whitman and Brett Steiger

Her pet almost spoiled the unexpected proposal. But Beyonce helped him put a ring on it.

When Andrea Whitman spotted her bulldog in a dress, she knew her boyfriend, Brett Steiger, was up to something. That something was a surprise marriage proposal. The couple had met on JDate more than three years before, and he made her dance with him to "All the Single Ladies" before giving her the ring. Nearly 355 guests danced into the night at the Fairmont Hotel on May 10, 2010, after Andrea and Brett joined lives in a traditional Jewish ceremony.
