    Dr. Rachel Steward and Peter Lord Moreland (pictured above). Though self-described as “old, fat and bald,” Mr. Moreland overcame the 20-year age difference between the newlyweds with a combination of energetic Salsa moves and musical artistry (as Peter Lord, he fronts the Family Stand, and has written hit songs for Paula Abdul).  What proposal wouldn't be sweeter with a custom-written song about your intended? (delivered on a carriage ride through Central Park). They were wed on March 7 on the yacht Cloud 9 at the Skyport Marina.
