Kate & Adam in San Diego, CA

As the sun set over the Pacific, Kate Stephany and Adam Guier, along with 150 guests, were thankful that back in college, Kate had finally mustered up the courage to make the first move. The Bride Kate Stephany, 26, executive assistant The Groom Adam Guier, 28, regional sales manager The Date October 30 Kate spotted Adam one day at the campus gym of San Diego State University and had a crush on him for months before finally working up the nerve to ask him to her sorority formal. The sushi-loving couple had their first date at an upscale Japanese restaurant and quickly became regulars. It was there that Adam proposed by arranging for the waiter to bring a dessert tray decorated with palm trees, flowers, and a caramelized nest with a hand-carved dove in it. The bird carried a little something extra perched on his beak: a princess-cut diamond in a platinum ring.
