I decided a long time ago that I want to get married in Santa Barbara, California. This decision first came into my mind when I was sixteen years old and went on a family vacation. We spent most of the two weeks in Los Angeles, but visited my aunt for a weekend and she lives in Santa Barbara. I had never really given the city much thought before, but that summer I realized how incredibly and enchantingly beautiful it was. One afternoon I was kind of lounging around on the beach. I was by myself and it was a beautiful day. I started watching these two guys throw a football back and forth. One of them, well they were both cute, was so incredibly good looking that I couldn’t stop watching him. That was when my fantasy of getting married, to him, right there on that beach began. Of course that only lasted a minute because it seemed kind of childish and immature to me. But the idea started to sink in that Santa Barbara might just be the greatest place to have a wedding and reception.
I started to have this thought in my head as I went about the rest of the weekend. We went to a free outdoor concert at Chase Palm Park that night and it just felt so romantic and enchanted I couldn’t escape the feeling I was in paradise. The next day my dad and uncle went fishing at Stearns Warf . I don’t fish but I asked them if I could tag along. I just wanted to be around the water again. And it was another gorgeous day in paradise, so why not? My memories of that summer never left, though the romantic fantasy associations kind of faded into the background, as I became an adult, went off to college and started my life. Then two years ago I met a great man, Steve, fell in love and two months ago we began planning our wedding. Immediately after he proposed I knew we had to have the ceremony in Santa Barbara and I know the perfect hotel for the wedding party to stay in. Steve loves the idea and we’re deciding on a date for next summer.
