We will not be having the traditional wedding party standing with us as we are being married. We aren't against the custom, it's just something we don't want as part of our wedding. Again, we are trying to keep it about two people. If you have been invited, and are coming, then you are the wedding party.
The way we choose to celebrate isn't suitable for children.
No extra people will be allowed at our wedding. We have a set number and a set list.
Only request is cocktail attire. Feel free to wear whatever colors and type of outfit you want. For men, since there has been confusion: "When the dress code on an invitation reads "cocktail attire," it suggests a suit worn with a tie for men. " - Sincerely, Google. No jeans.
We do ask that you do not use them, or take our pictures during JUST the ceremony at City Hall. It's out of respect for us and we our paying a professional photographer to get good photos. After, when all is said and done, you can take pictures. Yay!
SF city hall only conducts ceremonies Mon-Fri, during the times of 9:00am-3:30pm. If you really need the info-> https://sfgov.org/countyclerk/marriage-general-information
We will not hold or wait on anyone. Our venue is strict about starting right at our reserved time. We will begin promptly and do not want anyone walking into our ceremony causing a disruption. If you are going to be late, we advise you to wait somewhere in or by city hall.
We are leaving for SF on the 20th (Thursday, day before). We suggest that you quite possibly do the same, if coming far from SF. There may be traffic, possible weather delays and any other logistical hardship. Just keep 12/21, 3:00pm in mind...
Do not be a jerk to anyone. Please be respectful, if we feel like anyone is disturbing the peace, just being rude we will make you leave the party.
