YOU KNOW HOW how sometimes you just know something's up? Well, when Jenna Ross heard, after a romantic day, a poolside chat and a favorite bottle of wine, that Jeff Smith was going inside to get "a surprise," she thought she knew what was what. "She actually patted me down," Jeff says, looking for the ring. No such luck.

Instead, he brought out a huge wrapped present — a jewelry box. She just stared at it. "I told her that since she had a lot of jewelry, she should have a nice jewelry box. I also wanted to give her the first piece to put in it." When she opened the box, the ring was inside. The rest is history. The couple will wed July 18 at Jenna's parent's house, where the proposal took place, with 150 guests.

Jenna, 30, is an elementary school teacher. Jeff, 36, is a manager at a hardware store. They live in Bethesda.
