2005 Today Throws a Wedding: The Groom Cried, I Cried, Matt Lauer Cried, Even the Audience Cried

Sweethearts Mark Dale and Sarah Raley of Valley Lee, Maryland, the couple who won Today Throws a Hometown Wedding, the annual Today Show giveaway, were married on September 16. While the bride kept her composure despite her Marge Simpson-style hairdo, the groom's voice wavered and tears rolled down his cheeks as he spoke his vows with great feeling.

Following the wedding, the couple discovered the audience had voted to send them on their honeymoon to One & Only Maldives Resort for 9 nights. Experience the Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa to see what makes this island nation such an extraordinarily romantic place for a honeymoon.
