I got married six years ago. At the time, I thought I was a progressive bride who took a modern approach to the hoopla. I didn’t have a bridal party, we did a small destination wedding with less than 50 guests. But looking back now, I realize how much I still stuck with convention.

Involved invitations, a big dinner, agonizing over every detail. It seems like it couldn’t be avoided. But what if  you skipped all of it? What if you the only thing you had to do was find the perfect dress and spend the day enjoying your one and only? This city hall wedding had me at hello.

I don’t know what I love more about this concept. The stunning setting of San Francisco City Hall, that epic dress, beautiful bouquet or the fact that this special moment can be focused on what’s truly most important – making a truly special commitment with the one you love.

While I’m still a sucker for a good wedding, this idea might be simply perfect.
