Amy Lake, 27, and Sam Oden, 27, both of Oceanside, started dating during their junior year of college in San Diego. Last Thanksgiving, Sam surprised Amy with a ring complete with her grandmother’s wedding ring stone after a sunrise hike in Maui. The two decided to get married and celebrate in San Diego at a venue showcasing the city, the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina. 

“When we saw the ceremony and reception space overlooking the bay and Coronado Island, we knew it was the spot,” Amy remembers.
