raining day weddings, eloping in the rain, plan B wedding days, umbrella weddings, eloping in san diegoIt's true! We've been hit by some pretty wet and dreary storms here in San Diego and all over Southern California over the last few weeks.
But after living in Seattle for the last 25 years, we're prepared! And we're prepared to help you have the elopement ceremony you've been planning for.
For us, the rain is nothing new, we've been working in the elements with couples for over 20 years. You might even say it's rather comforting and nostalgic on some weird level. Funny, because we had both just noticed that our umbrellas were getting a bit lonely hanging out in our trunk for months on end.
Couples who enjoyed plan "B" on their wedding day on Coronado Beach with us !
Hats off to those brave couples we married on our wet Coronado beach! We wanted to share a few wedding photographs of two of our couples, Sandy and Victor and Rachel and Emmet who were great sports about getting married on the beach over the last few weeks. They braved the elements in great style to have their
romantic beach elopements and we all managed to have a fantastic time in the process. Isn't that what it's all about? Isn't there a bit of excitement choosing an adventure over the boring traditional sure thing? What's a bit of rain in the scheme of things? Rumor has it that a little rain is suppose to bring good luck to your marriage, right? We think so and happen to know first hand. Steve and I had a very typical Seattle down pour
for our June wedding in 1987. And just look at us... we're still happy, married, and actually love working together!
Raining on the day you are planning to
Elope with us on Coronado Beach?
If it should rain on the day you've planned your Beach Elopement package with us on Coronado, never fear....we do have several options available. Look on the bright side....
1. If it's a quiet day for scheduling, we have been known to wait out a shower or two. Hold your ceremony a couple of hours earlier or a couple of hours later.
2. We have a wonderful park, Spreckles Park on Orange Avenue in Coronado. It's just about 6 blocks before the Hotel Del Coronado where we can meet for your elopement ceremony. It's on the other side of the street before you arrive at the hotel. It has a most beautiful gazebo that is covered and dry.
3. We can bring beautiful multicolored umbrellas and just go for it !
4. If you decide to go for it on the beach... the plus side is that you'll have even more choices for places to have your ceremony, since the beach will no doubt be much less crowded.
We hope that as stressful as this may seem at the time.... it's just a part of the excitement and romance of eloping. If you are flexible about your expectations, you can still have a fabulous time no matter the circumstances. Remember, at the end of the day you'll be happily married and everything that happens along the way is just part of the adventure. Hey...and on the bright side, don't forget that you've managed to save a small fortune choosing a gorgeous, free place to hold your wedding!
If you're not already on our schedule, and you've got a small wedding in your near future.....Give us call, or shoot us an email: info@elopesandiego.com.
Especially if you've got that spirit of adventure burning and you'd like to share it with us!
Know that we're in the habit of making great memories for our couples. Think low stress, fun, romantic, affordable wedding planning and elopements. We're Christine and Steve at ElopeSanDiego.com located in "mostly sunny" San Diego, California.
