OUR LOVE STORY
How we met
Sharon and Karl met in Vienna at a Medical Wellness Conference in April 2023—a moment that changed their lives forever.
That summer, they reunited at Palazzo Fiuggi in Italy and traveled together along the Amalfi Coast.
From there began a long-distance relationship filled with Zoom calls, wine, and growing love from afar.
Continued Story
In December 2023, Sharon made the big leap—she left Italy and moved to the U.S. to be with Karl.
Together, they began growing the Prism Light Pod business internationally, focusing on luxury hotels and spas.
They’ve spent the past two years traveling to global wellness events and driving long road trips in their demo van across the U.S.—embracing every detour with laughter, patience, and curiosity (yes, including flat tires and breakdowns!).
The proposal
Over time, Sharon and Karl spoke often about a future together. One night in Newport Beach, after dinner and a few cocktails, Karl couldn’t keep his secret any longer, he confessed he had already bought an engagement ring. A week later, on a cozy date night in Arizona, over burrata, pesto pasta, and veal parmigiana, Karl proposed in one of their favorite Italian restaurants. Tears were shed… and she said yes.
