Our Wedding

It was just another typical day in San Diego (75 and sunny) although what was different on this day was that two single people, Kandice &amp; Brandon, came to know of each other (at a fine drinking establishment of course) in Pacific Beach, and little did they know that their first glance of each other was what they write about as - love at first sight!Almost 4 years later, they are now preparing to celebrate their love story with a wedding ceremony in the city that brought them together!

Love at first sight...

We recommend those that fly in to take a cab or uber to the resort (or nearby hotels). No need to rent a car unless you plan to explore the area while in town!
