When Megan and Hassan tied the knot at San Francisco City Hall, it was more than just a wedding day—it was the culmination of a love story that began in 2015 and a celebration of the life they built together. Their journey, marked by serendipity, shared adventures, and a little unpredictability, led to a breathtaking elopement weekend in the city where their love story began.
A Love Story Rooted in San Francisco
Megan and Hassan’s story started with a swipe on Tinder, but their connection quickly blossomed into something extraordinary. Although they’d unknowingly crossed paths at events in Utah, fate brought them together in San Francisco. The city’s iconic hills, vibrant neighborhoods, and endless charm became the backdrop to their early days, as they explored hand in hand, creating memories tinged with the magic of new love.
After years of building a life together in San Francisco, complete with their beloved rescue pup Della, Megan and Hassan relocated to San Diego. It was there, during a hot air balloon ride, that Hassan pulled off the ultimate surprise proposal. Though they’d already embraced their “forever” together, the engagement was a joyful affirmation of their love and a step toward marriage.
From Spontaneous Booking to Perfect Elopement
Fast forward to a year later, and Megan decided to take the reins in the most spontaneous way. A screenshot of a City Hall wedding slot and a simple “Should we do it?” text to Hassan set the wheels in motion. With just ten weeks to plan, the couple embarked on a whirlwind journey to create a meaningful celebration.
Enter Ascend Together Co. Megan reached out to Dana only four weeks before the big day, and it quickly became clear that she’d found the perfect partner to bring her vision to life. With expertise and a calm approach, Dana guided Megan and Hassan through every logistical detail, ensuring their elopement reflected their love story.
A Dream Weekend in San Francisco
The weekend was a beautiful blend of cultural traditions, intimate moments, and iconic San Francisco experiences. Megan and Hassan stayed in a house overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge, hosted a mendhi celebration with their closest family and friends, and enjoyed a picnic in the redwoods at Samuel P. Taylor Park. The entire weekend felt like a love letter to the city that had played such a pivotal role in their relationship.
On their wedding day, Megan and Hassan exchanged vows in the stunning rotunda of San Francisco City Hall, surrounded by 11 of their dearest loved ones. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, allowing the couple to focus on the joy of the moment.
After the ceremony, Megan and Hassan revisited some of their favorite San Francisco locations for photos, reliving cherished memories while creating new ones. The day was perfectly paced, giving them time to savor each meaningful stop along the way.
A Celebration of Love and Community
Megan and Hassan’s wedding wasn’t just a celebration of their love but also a testament to the power of community. With the help of friends and family, they pulled together every detail, from flowers arranged by a friend’s connection to a picnic catered by a former coworker. Even those who couldn’t attend found ways to contribute, making the weekend a true labor of love.
Final Thoughts
Megan and Hassan’s San Francisco elopement was a perfect blend of spontaneity, love, and thoughtful planning.
