Honeymoon
San Francisco, CA, USA
Why San Francisco? So many reasons! We thought the typical honeymoon destinations like Hawaii or other tropical islands were going to be too much for us, financially and mentally to prepare for. Marissa, the bride had this idea brewing in her head since the proposal, because we want to stay within the United States, but we wanted something better than just a staycation in our home state of Arizona. Both the bride and groom have hopped around this great country of ours as individuals and as a couple, but this is big--our honeymoon! Our first vacation together as husband and wife! The bride figured San Francisco was perfect for us, because: 1. We're 49ers fans 2. The bride's father is from the Bay Area and she'd always wondered what it's like over there, whereas her mother is also a Zonie. 3. The groom, John "Wolfie" and his family are from the Midwest and that isn't a place for post nuptial romance. 🤣 4. ALCATRAZ ISLAND! Once the bride suggested San Francisco and touring Alcatraz, the groom was all in. We're both freaks about true crime and the actual history of the famous prison. 5. Everywhere else is cold or snowy after Halloween. That's just us; we're not like other couples. The bride is well aware of the city's history and current vibes and is willing to give her husband to be as much information and crash courses on the city. Hell, she becomes a social studies teacher after a few drinks, having to educate him on history, places and cultures. We've decided to make things easier for ourselves and you gifters by having the honeymoon in February of 2027, because it'll be easier to prepare, stack and save after the planning and celebrating our wedding.
