Since we plan to get married in LA, but will have lived in San Francisco for two years by the time we tie the knot, we wanted to incorporate something into our wedding that referenced our life in SF.
After all, when we moved to SF, it was quite a gamble! We had our love for one another (of course), but we'd never lived together, especially not in a city completely unknown to both of us, in which neither of us knew anyone. We both faced the challenge of adapting to life here: me, with starting and surviving law school, and Todd, with plunging into a new kind of job. We had to set up a life together - make our apartment a home for both of us.
Those first few days in our apartment - when we had a blow up mattress, paper plates, and a laptop for a television - and had no idea how to get anywhere - were a bit scary. But we had each other - and soon, a fantastic GPS system for the car (thanks Rick and Lynn!) - and it wasn't long before we realized that it was not only going to be okay, but really terrific.
For what's better than being in a new place - full of adventure and discovery - with your love? And all the things that come with living together - making dinner every night, taking walks in the evenings, cuddling on the couch watching TV (and not worrying about when the other has to leave, or what the parking situation is) are so great.
We've made a happy life here and so each table at our wedding reception is going to feature a San Francisco county parks location - in the cool art deco styles of vintage silhouette postcards. We'll bring a bit of NorCal down south...
