Our Wedding

Joe and Sharon's story began&nbsp;in 2012. Joe had decided on a career change and moved from Arizona&nbsp;to California to pursue Optometry school.&nbsp;Sharon had just graduated from UC Irvine&nbsp;and was starting Optometry school in the fall. They met the first week at WesternU, when they were partnered up to take photos of each others eyes. They were placed in the same lab group, and quickly became friends with the same people. Soon enough they were inseparable -&nbsp;studying together for every class, spending&nbsp;endless hours performing eye examinations on each other, and de-stressing&nbsp;together on weekends at the pool or with&nbsp;friends.

Fast forward to 2016 and they&nbsp;were graduating, in love, and planning to move to San Diego together to start their careers. Shortly after graduation,&nbsp;a french bulldog Bella was added to their family. And in the blink of an eye a&nbsp;year and a half went by -&nbsp;both of them&nbsp;working full time and enjoying every bit of San Diego each weekend together.&nbsp;And then Joe proposed.

Our Story

Joe's proposal was every bit as unconventional as their&nbsp;love story. &nbsp;Joe planned an entire 5 day get away to Maui, with an itinerary every day (which is not typical of Joe!)&nbsp;&nbsp;Sharon&nbsp;got sick day 3, actually passing out from stomach pain early one morning.&nbsp;Luckily Joe was up and caught her fall.&nbsp;An ambulance was called,&nbsp;but they didn't end up needing it.&nbsp;Sharon was able to recover in the hotel room all day. With all of this happening,&nbsp;&nbsp;Joe's plans were thrown off. Joe had made plans to propose after a sunrise hike up to Haleakala Volcano, but that never happened.&nbsp;His backup proposal plans also fell through (snorkeling trip, road to Hana).&nbsp;So on their last morning, as they were driving to the airport, &nbsp;Joe pulled over and&nbsp;impromptu&nbsp;proposed on a secluded beach. It was perfect. They then spent&nbsp;the entire 6 hour flight home dying to call their friends and family! Sharon promises to finish their Maui itinerary on their&nbsp;honeymoon.
