We Eloped!!!

We had planned on keeping this a secret but considering we are both wearing our wedding rings I don't think that will work so well. We got married early for several reasons.....insurance and other legal reasons. Also it will be nice to already be married in May when we do the big wedding.....one less thing I have to take care of then and I can change my name now. We considered this more as a legal formality. A process and piece of paper that the state requires so that we can have the rights of a married couple. To us we were already committed as though we were married.

We only invited parents and close friends. We were trying to keep it very small.....especially since we are having another wedding in May that everyone will be invited to. And while this was very special and I was very happy that people could join us, its more important (at least to me) that everyone invited in May can make it to that wedding.

We got married at sunset on top of a dune at Ocean Beach in San Francisco. You couldn't tell it was sunset because of the clouds. After the ceremony we went to dinner at Aziza, a Moroccan restaurant in San Francisco. We had a four course dinner that was amazing. We even had entertainment (a belly dancer that everyone seemed to be impressed by). The staff was great and was very accomodating to our youngest guest, a 15 month old who will be our flower girl in May. I would highly recommend them for dinner if you're in San Francisco.

Thanks to everyone that joined us. We had a great time.
