From Coastlines to Carlsbad: A Love Story


How did you meet?
"We first crossed paths in medical school, both following our dreams in a small, beautiful town in West Virginia. Carolyn, a California girl at heart, brought her West Coast warmth and positivity.
Alex, originally from Pennsylvania, added his East Coast determination and charm. Although we came from opposite sides of the country, we found common ground in our shared commitment to our dreams and in each other.
Our journey in medical school and residency was filled with long nights, challenging exams, and stressful moments. Yet, no matter how difficult things became, we always came back to one another for encouragement, laughter, and comfort.
Through all the ups and downs, we grew together as partners, supporters, and best friends."

The proposal
"One of our most special memories happened on a rainy day at the flower fields in Carlsbad, California.
Alex had planned everything down to the smallest detail, surprising Carolyn by inviting both of our families to watch our proposal.
Alex's family flew from Pennsylvania and met with Carolyn's family in California. They all huddled under umbrellas and hid among the flowers so Carolyn wouldn't see them.
In the sprinkling rain, Alex got down on one knee and asked Carolyn to marry him.
It was a perfect moment that we'll cherish forever."


Finding the dress
"Finding my wedding dress was such a special experience. I tried on so many gowns, each beautiful in its own way, but when I finally slipped into my dress, It was everything
I had been searching for.
It was modern and unique, unlike anything I’d seen before, yet timelessly elegant. The fit was absolutely perfect, complimented my body, and was incredibly comfortable at the same time.
The train added just the right touch of sophistication and elegance, making me feel both confident and graceful.
It truly was the dress of my dreams."
Their venue and colors
"We got married in CA where I grew up. Our colors were pastel colors with hints of blue."
