He was calling one last time to prove to his mom that he had tried. She finally picked up at the urging of her friend. And over that one expensive phone call that night, strangers, from two different countries, connected. Hours of phone conversation and a bump on the head later, Kirn was traveling up to Canada to see his girl in person. The two hour plane ride became a constant in their relationship as Sharon would fly down to San Francisco where they would eat ice cream and walk around Pier 39. When he flew up to Vancouver, their first stop would be for donuts at Tim Hortons.
Everything was going well and their love was growing until one day, as Sharon was packing for another trip down, she was told that Kirn had been in a car accident. Weeks at the hospital turned into weeks of therapy as he went from a walker to a cane to finally being able to stand again on his own two feet. Life was precious and Kirn knew that he wanted to spend the rest of his with Sharon by his side. He had planned to take her out somewhere special over Christmas vacation to propose, but newly cracked ribs from a relative's hug landed him back in bed. So finally, asking for his jacket, he pulled out a box containing the ring and surprised a completely shocked Sharon! She of course said "yes," and their beautiful Indian wedding in July will make it officially official!
Crissy Field had an amazing view of not only the Golden Gate Bridge, but also the whole bay. Such a fun place to try out the water or even parasail!
Beautiful, Sharon!
Sharon and Kirn make the Palace of Fine Arts look even more fabulous!
They were so cute and natural together!
Pier 39 was the one place they would always visit together to get away from the busyness and just be alone. They didn't mind an interruption or two from these fun sea lions!
Just love them together!
The man running the carousel was so cool to let us on for free to take pictures!
Nice job, Kirn!
The sun had already set when we arrived at this lookout point, but I think Sharon and Kirn really brought it! This last set turned out to be some of my favorites!
