Wedding Venues!

Already? It's so exciting to get things in motion and starting to get the big things out of the way. I picked up my wedding dress last week! My actual dress. It's crazy! Even though we have a year and a half before the big day it's been a lot of fun (and stressful, don't get me wrong, haha) planning everything. And everyday I can't wait to marry my best friend. So...want to see the venue?

We fell in love with the restaurant Bali Hai on Shelter Island. It has a very tropical feel to it, and has the backdrop of downtown San Diego with a beautiful view of the bay. And, compared to the other places, this had a more personal feel to it. Of course people we don't know will walk by and see, but it's not like the hotels that we saw where rooms were right there. It's definitely more private. On to the pictures!

Here's the view walking in from the parking lot.

These are the steps I'll be walking down on the big day (: God, I hope I don't trip hahaha.

Here's one possible location for the ceremony.

You can slightly see San Diego in the background to the left.

Here's a better view.

Here is the second ceremony spot that we can choose from.

This is their awesome firepit. Firebending, anyone? (:

This is the little dock they have where we can take pictures.

View from the inside where the reception will be.

So, there it is! We love it. And it's nice because there is a lot of tropical foliage so we don't have to worry too much about decorations. Can't wait until July 6, 2013 <3
