When John and Richard met twenty years ago at Pride weekend in London, they knew right away that they had something special. After a year of long-distance dating, they decided to live together and twenty years flew by in the blink of an eye. When they reached out to me from England to plan their destination elopement for their twentieth anniversary (plus one long-time friend as their witness!), I was so excited to show them the best of everything that San Francisco and the Bay Area had to offer for their wedding. They knew they wanted a San Francisco elopement planning company that really knew SF City Hall inside and out, and we did all of the wedding planning for the two of them.

I'm here to share with you seven reasons to be really happy about rain on your wedding day and offer up some fun and beautiful wedding inspiration for those of you nervously checking the Farmers Almanac a year before your wedding date.

What if you thought of your wedding as a luxury vacation? Just let that sink in for a moment. Luxury wedding vacation. I like the sound of that, and these days so do a lot of couples. It's the perfect opportunity to visit a new destination and make core memories together, or revisit someplace special that helped bring the two of you together in the early days of your love story.

Did you know that you could hire a surprise proposal planner? Asking somebody to marry you is scary enough, so we make it easier for you to put your best foot forward. From a simple setup to luxurious picnics, we create spaces that will set the stage for romance. With our entire lives shared on social media, there's extra pressure to create a proposal experience that will be sweet, heartwarming and that they'll be proud to share with friends and family online.

And for those folks, there's the Proposal Planner.
