Last minute plans...

I realized while talking with my Mom this weekend that I really wasn't thrilled at the idea of having everyone seated for the ceremony. We're certainly not doing this formal, so it didn't make much sense to me. Also, people would miss my entrance (the way the room works), there's really no aisle to speak of) and even though the ambiance is great, to get married in a small of a place and already being at our reception is just kind of silly.

So since it will be November (but a November here in Socal, the possibility of rain is there, but not at all probable. Probably a 30% chance) we have opted to have our 5 minute ceremony outside in the gazebo. Dean and I wrote our ceremony together and I timed reading it- with plenty of lengthy pauses. Here is a picture of it that we took when we first went and scouted locations. We will be married here, and then head over to the lounge for the reception. :)
