6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Come as you are!
Kick the weekend off with us with some food, margaritas, and other drinks. Swing by when you are hungry; there isn't a formal time where we will be dining.
9:00 am
Tennis Shoes, Sunscreen, and a Water Bottle!
Unfortunately, the change of venue has forced us to move some of the getting ready appointments earlier in the day, so we sadly can’t join the pre-wedding hike. We are devastated, but don’t want it to stop your party. Don’t let that stop you from hiking! We recommend the following hikes the morning of if you were excited about it: - steep, paved hike: Sibley Old Tunnel Trail Staging Loop - calm nature trail: Lake Temescal - city lake loop: Lake Merritt (and stop by the farmer’s market starting at 9am!) ~~~ This is an extremely optional event. Christine really wants to get some moderate to aggressive cardio the morning of her wedding. You are invited to join Christine (and Gochu) for an early morning hike through one of her favorite trails in the Bay Area — good smells, better views, and some cardio guaranteed! Sibley is a volcano in the East Bay (dormant for ~10 million years). We will hike about 3.5 miles on a sometimes paved trail. There are some steep hills.
4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
Festive and colorful. We recommend wearing flat shoes and bringing a layer in case it is windy!
The main event! Our ceremony will start promptly at 4PM at the Berkeley Rose Garden. Since there are some slopes and stairs, we recommend wearing flat shoes. Bring another layer over your shoulder in case it gets classically Bay Area windy. All shuttles will depart from the Moxy hotel (2225 Telegraph Ave, Oakland). If you plan to take the shuttle, it is scheduled as follows: Bus #1: Loads at 2:15pm, departs at 2:30pm Bus #2: Loads at 2:30pm, departs at 2:45pm Bus #3: Loads at 2:45pm, departs at 3:00pm If you get to the Rose Garden early, we welcome you to enjoy the beautiful views from the Rose Garden and surrounding park area! After our ceremony, all three buses will run from the garden to the Oakland Museum.
6:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Festive and colorful. Bring your dancing shoes!
Don’t forget to bring a jacket or cozy sweater! The Bay Area can be chilly in the evenings and the event will be outside.
