Taylor-Made For Her

"Mmm...marry me," said Taylor Hanson to his bride, NATALIE ANNE BRYANT. And the singer's brothers added thir chorus of approval.

For Taylor Hanson, middle brother of the pop group Hanson ("Mmmbop"), cupid came in the form of a roadie named Romeo. Two years ago, following an Atlanta concert and teen fashion show,he introduced Hanson, now 19, to a model, Natalie Anne Bryant, 18. "I never thought my wedding story would begin, 'I met my wife at a Hanson concert,'" says the singer. Of course, dating a touring pop star isn't easy. "Natalie would fly out to see me for a day, then I'd visit her for a day," says Hanson. The couple clicked and Hanson was asking himself: Are you ready to propose? The answer came on a hill near his L.A. home. "There was a gust of wind, as if God was giving me a push," he says. Hanson presented Bryannt with a 2-carat Tiffany diamond. They got a more priceless gift in October: son Jordan Ezra.

The Ceremony: The two wed in a chapel at Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, GA., on June 8, amid candelabras and red roses. James Mitcham, owner of Details of the Gardens, also in Pine Mountain, provided flowers. "When we dated, I'd send Natalie roses," Taylor says. On hand for support: four groomsmen and three bridesmaids.

The Reception: Dinner for 60 overlooked a 22-foot waterfall at Callaway Gardens. Despite requests, Hanson refrained from singing. Says Taylor, "I was off duty for the night." --Sheryl Berk
