Eager to get on with the start of their happily ever after, the duo pulled together their vows—held, appropriately at a castle on New York’s Long Island—in just five months. Some 400 guests turned out (in a blizzard) to see Danielle brave the chill in a strapless tulle and Chantilly lace Vera Wang ball gown, a silk-and-crystal flower in her updo, a nod to their first meeting.

At their five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath domicile (complete with wine cellar and 3-D home theater) Danielle was privy to the occasional spontaneous serenade. “Especially when he’s not watching his TV show, [but] I’m watching mine,” she joked to PR.com. But the couple were more likely to be found hanging out with the TV on. (She was partial to Say Yes to the Dress; he preferred Suits and Duck Dynasty.)
