Curtis, 29, is a tax policy analyst. Johanna, 26, is a program analyst. They live in D.C.

» The Main Event: The couple will swap vows Oct. 17 on Capitol Hill, with more than 200 guests in attendance.

» How They Met: At work. He was an economist at the Tax Foundation and she came to D.C. as a (graduate student) intern. "We are both nerds," Johanna says.

» First Date: "Pretty casual," Curtis says: ice cream and trivia at Ireland's Four Fields in Cleveland Park.

» How He Proposed: Johanna was organizing a big charity event, so Curtis wanted to wait until they were leaving for the gala and "say her dress was nice but it was missing something." But the timing didn't work out, "so I had her put on her dress the night before and I used the same line." She cried, then accepted.

» Most Hated Clothing Item: Curtis' red, white and blue USA hoodie. "I'm pretty sure only tourists are allowed to wear that junk!"

» Family Traditions: Curtis' dad, who married in 1972, wore a white tuxedo jacket with wide lapels and black pants. "Maybe I'll honor him by wearing something similar."
