his San Diego couple met at World Famous beachfront dining in Pacific Beach. This is where Dillon later proposed as they enjoyed the evening
sunset. They were taking a walk after dinner when Dillon dropped to one knee and popped the question with so much love and sincerity in his voice. Courtney will remember the moment for the rest of their lives. Their wedding was elegant and magnificent in every way, and all of the ornate details came together for an absolutely perfect day.

weekend of wakeboarding is what started it all for Ricki and Geoff. Being active is what this couple bonded over, so a sunrise hike at Mount Woodson was what set the scene for a perfect proposal. Their
wedding day was a rainy one, but they embraced the weather at the Rancho Bernardo Inn by turning it into a warm and cozy family environment. It was a wedding for their guests and the night ended with an In ‘n Out delivery!

fter briefly meeting in college, Brandon and Brooke reconnected several years later through a mutual friend. Being that Brandon
was residing in Texas at the time, the couple experienced a year of long distance before he made the move back to San Diego. After getting engaged in Del Mar at the beach next to the restaurant they had reconnected at, Brandon and Brooke planned a small family wedding that took place at the Scripps Forum. The reception included all of their favorite beers and delicious custom sushi rolls that were named after the couple.

ason was able to get passed Erin’s “high proposal radar” as he got down on one knee on a night that was reserved for a thank you dinner for some of their friends.
Mutual friends that wanted to set them up had introduced them, and here they are three years later being one another’s strength in weakness. Their wedding was intended to reflect a timeless event that was thoughtful, creative, and fun. They made sure to share their unity with their guests as they faced them during their vows, and created a playlist through RSVP song requests!

elissa and Artie ended up having a much more intimate wedding than they had planned to, which was a lovely surprise. Going from outdoor plans to an indoor location because of weather mishaps
created a much more personal feel for their ceremony and reception. Their “Love Birds” theme made for such adorable details all over, and the couple enjoyed every moment of their special day.

t can safely be assumed that Dan’s proposal was Katy’s favorite Christmas present when he presented her with a ring as they were beginning to clean up. This was perfect timing, as they were able to celebrate with family right
then and there! The wedding took place in Balboa Park, which was one of the couple’s favorite date places. Their vintage travel theme was perfectly hosted by The Prado’s grand ballroom. It provided a wonderful San Diego feel for all of their out of town guests who had traveled to celebrate with them.

atalie and John met at the hospital where she worked, and on her last day he knew better than to let her go without asking her out. From there, they dated for almost eight years
before they went on a scuba diving trip to the Galapagos Islands. They were given chalkboards to communicate with underwater. He wrote his marriage proposal on his and flashed it for her to see. Their big day was super classy and upbeat, which kept their guests on the dance floor the entire night. Many amazing memories were made that these two will cherish forever.
