Arrive late next Tue and marry on Wed...

... So much to plan in such little time.

All those things that i was ';going'; to have done before now!! I think I%26#39;m just going to have to leave the rest to fate now before my head explodes.

I%26#39;ll post a full report when i get back but the plan so far is:

Get Marrigae license, wedding ring and flowers on Wednesday morning.

Get ready (hair, make-up and full bridal gear) in 1hr and 45mins!!

13:30 - Taxi to City Hall to meet photographer and get married!

Then the all-important blag with the clerk to get our certified marriage cert straight after the ceremony.

3 hour limo ride around the city (accompanied by 1 bottle of champagne and 2 bottles of wine)

Back to the hotel before dinner at Scala%26#39;s.

Thursday I%26#39;m thinking of Breakfast at the Top Of The Mark before we pick up our car and drive down to Carmel and Monteray, topping this off with a night at the Tickle Pink Inn.

Friday it%26#39;s Big Sur (a rather compacted version)

Does anyone know if the waterfall (McWay Falls) is in full flow at the moment as I%26#39;ve heard they kind of go out of season and dry up through the year.

Finally - Saturday and Sunday are free days for us to do as little or as much as we wish!!

Is anyone aware of any interesting events in the city over the weekend (23rd/24th)?

Sorry that was such a long tedious post, I just need to know that i have everything planned!! You%26#39;re lucky i didn%26#39;t include my packing list!!

Any comments/suggestions appreciated, even though i don%26#39;t think i asked too many questions :oI

Arrive late next Tue and marry on Wed...

Good luck Shelley, we are flying out to SF in November for our daughters wedding, so we know the hassles you must be experiencing, can you tell me who you have booked your limo, as we are looking for one to pick us up at the airport and will need one for the wedding day as well.

Arrive late next Tue and marry on Wed...

How exciting, Shelley! We%26#39;re rootin%26#39; for a bang-up wedding, smooth visit to the clerk%26#39;s office and fabulous trip.

I don%26#39;t know anything about McWay Falls%26#39; current situation, but in general, you%26#39;ve hit us at the driest time of year, so I doubt it will be in full flow at all. It%26#39;s probably best in the spring.

As for events during the weekend of Sept 23-24, you%26#39;ve got:

International Dragonboat Festival (races) at Treasure Island (just a Muni ride away and over the Bay Bridge -- drop-dead gorgeous views of the city)

Chinatown Moon Festival

.. and the Folsom Street Fair, which could be interesting for you, or could not. It%26#39;s the world%26#39;s largest a leather and fetish street fair, part of the diversity of our gay community.

Here%26#39;s some more information and events from the SF Convention %26amp; Visitor%26#39;s Bureau, found at www.onlyinsanfrancisco.com. I plugged your dates into the calendar:

Thankyou BTB!!

I%26#39;m sure it%26#39;ll all be a memorable experience however many ups and downs there are!!

The moon festival is something i would like to see, although from what i can make out it will be very crowded! I would love to go and take some pictures though.

I%26#39;m not sure leather and what not is our sort of thing (well, not his sort of thing) but I imagine it would make for some interesting holiday photos to show everyone!

I haven%26#39;t checked out the website yet but its next on my loooooong list of things to do...

... I haven%26#39;t even packed yet!!

Shelley :o)

Sounds very nice and Congrats! Just wanted to add that you will love the Tickle Pink Inn in Carmel Highlands. We celebrated my husband%26#39;s birthday there one year. Make sure you partake of the wine and cheese reception in the oceanview Terrace Room there in the afternoon, it is very relaxing. Great choice and have a wonderful honeymoon! :)
