PCO/Salus Alumni Flip the Script with Unique Wedding Tale

PCO/Salus Alumni Flip the Script with Unique Wedding Tale

It started off with a toque and ended up with Akirta Sran, OD ‘20, and Brendan Connors, OD ‘20, two Pennsylvania College of Optometry (PCO) at Salus University alumni, getting married backwards and without a ring. And, along the way, four attempted proposals got delayed because of rain, just to add another level of uniqueness to a love story that started at PCO.

Dr. Sran, of Lloydminster, Alberta, Canada, started PCO/Salus after graduating from the University of Calgary in Alberta, with a degree in biological sciences and a minor in psychology. It was the first time she had been away from home for that amount of time in another country.

After her first set of finals that first year, she was scheduled to return to Alberta over the holiday break. But the weather canceled her flight, and she was forced to return to her apartment complex near the school’s campus in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania. There, her classmates who hadn’t yet left for the holiday break were celebrating the completion of finals, and she ended up at a party whereas chance would have it, Dr. Connors was also in attendance.

“I had noticed him in class and I definitely thought he was cute,” said Dr Sran.
