Ondrea & Jason in Huntington Beach, CA

Bold accents of tangerine, gold, and merlot gave this wedding extra flair. The Bride Ondrea Shearer, 28, elementary school teacher The Groom Jason Reed, 37, CEO The Date July 15 Striking up a conversation with a beautiful girl at a bar can be tough. But keeping the girl interested enough to marry you is a feat worthy of recognition. When Jason Reed spotted Ondrea Shearer at a bar, he watched from the sidelines as many guys approached her and were promptly turned away. Bravery has its rewards, though, since the two were inseparable once he finally worked up the courage to speak to her (despite forgetting to save her number in his cell phone and having to walk back inside the bar to ask for it again!). A year later, Jason surprised Ondrea in their newly purchased home with roses, candles, and a marriage proposal.
