Friday, the 15th of May 2009

At 10 o'clock Friday morning we will be married in the rotunda at San Francisco City Hall.


Depending on your schedule, there are three different times you can join the celebration.

For the sentimental early birds, you are welcome to enter City Hall as a visitor and watch the ceremony from a short distance, as we are allowed only 6 witnesses to be a part of the ceremony.

For those who don't feel like reading our lips as we exchange vows, you can meet us afterwards on the steps outside of City Hall at 10:45 AM, before we walk down the road to Suppenkuche.

Finally, family and friends who can't get the day started before having a boot of beer (you'll see), go directly to Suppenkuche at 11:30 AM and be ready to greet those of us that aren't beer drinkin' bums.

San Francisco City Hall is on Van Ness between Grove & McAllister
Suppenkuche is 525 Laguna St. at Hayes

P.S. There is a $10 parking lot that is on Grove and Gough conveniently located between City Hall and Suppenkuche. You can also try your luck at neighborhood parking but there is a two hour limit.

After the ceremony...Suppenkuche

Here's the outside of our favorite restaurant, Suppenkuche, where we will have an intimate, all you can feast upon german repast!

SUPPENKÜCHE IS LOCATED: 525 LAGUNA (AT HAYES) SAN FRANCISCO
