Our Wedding

Billy and Kristy met a little over 4 years ago through mutual friends in their favorite part of the city while watching the Oregon Ducks play in the National Football Championships. Although it was a tough loss for Oregon, what really drew them together was their mutual love for UC Berkeley and thus another Cal Bear romance began. Although it may have felt like love at first sight, the two of them would grow together over the next several years and experience some of life's most difficult times as well as many memorial moments that have shaped them into the couple they are today. Almost exactly 4 years later, Oregon was once again in the National Football Championships, and as Billy and Kristy got ready to celebrate this unique anniversary, Billy proposed. It was no surprise that Kristy said yes, and the rest is history...

Driving Directions with Alternate Parking Lot (Bancroft Lot)

Travel

This building is the epicureans delight. There are a number of great restaurants, local cheese mongers, acme bread, wine shops, and local fresh produce for the Thursday and Sunday Farmers Market. A few blocks down is a restaurant called Hard Water where Kristy and Billy enjoy some Southern Comfort food on Sunday's.

San Francisco Ferry Building, San Francisco, CA, United States

Located in the northwest quadrant of the City, this monument to the world's fair that San Francisco hosted is great for a stroll and very relaxing. You can bring food for a nice picnic or just some bread for the ducks and swans that live here year round!

Palace of Fine Arts

North Beach is Kristy and Billy's favorite neighborhood and it's where they met! Some fantastic restaurants include Firenze by Night, Sotto Mare, Capo's, and Tony's Napoletana. There are a number of bars that are also worth a gander. Kristy and Billy met at Rogue Brewery which has countless Oregon beers on tap and numerous distilled spirits made in house. Tupelo, The Saloon, and Grant and Green are great bars for live music and libations. North Star is Billy's favorite sports bar and Savoy Tivoli is a great spot for people watching "al fresco."

North Beach, San Francisco, CA, United States

This stadium in the Northeast part of SF is where the 3 time World Champion San Francisco Giants play. Kristy and Billy enjoy many days and nights here. The stadium is famous for its Garlic French Fries and Sourdough Clam Chowder bowls. There are several bars and restaurants in the area to "pregame" at. Among their favorites, Kristy and Billy include Momo's, Pedro's Cantina, Pete's Tavern, Mission Rock Resort, and Third Rail.

AT&T Park

This beautiful gothic cathedral located at the top of Nob Hill was constructed after the 1906 earthquake. The church has stunning stained glass windows and an awe inspiring organ. In the area you can also go to Top of The Mark at the Mark Hopkins Hotel. This restaurant has panoramic views from one of the highest hills in San Francisco.

Grace Cathedral Presbyterian Church

This is for the people who want to experience the cultural diversity that San Francisco offers. Some of Kristy and Billy's favorite stops here are Hogs and Rocks, El Techo, Lazslo, Lolinda, and for the really adventurous El Rio!

The Mission District

Chinatown isn't for everyone because it is loud, crowded and has some funky smells. If you are in the mood for dim sum there are many places to get an inexpensive and quick lunch. There are a great many knick knacks and fun keepsakes here that can not be found at other tourist traps (ie Pier 39 and Fisherman's Wharf).

Chinatown, San Francisco, CA, United States

This is one area of the city that Kristy and Billy disagree on. Kristy enjoys the hustle and bustle of the tourists, whereas Billy gets claustrophobic and easily annoyed. Compare this area to Times Square in New York. It's saving grace is the Musee' Mechanique which has antique games from the turn of the century and retro Atari games. Here you can also charter private boat tours or take the ferry to Alcatraz, Sausalito, and Angel Island.

Pier 39/ Fisherman's Wharf

These two cities are directly across the Golden Gate Bridge in Marin County. There are a number of restaurants that are worth the ferry trip or bike ride across "International Orange." Sam's is one of Billy's favorite spots in Tiburon because he remembers going there and fending of seagulls for food with his Dad and Bland III. Sausalito has great art galleries and one of the couple's favorite restaurants. Bar Bocce sits right on the Marina and has fantastic views of the SF skyline. You can enjoy some sangria in the sun while playing bocce and eating pizza. Can you really beat that? Possibly, Cavallo point is just a step above on the foodie scale. It's not cheap but it's a once in a lifetime experience.

Sausalito/ Tiburon

4505 Burgers &amp; BBQ: On Divisadero, great ribs, good vibes, outdoor dining.Cathead's BBQ: Best BBQ in SF hands down. Offers Memphis, KC, Texas, and Carolina styles.Tommy's Joynt: World Famous Bison Sandwiches.Golden Boy Pizza: Try the Clam and Garlic!Cajun House: Asian Crawsfish and Seafood in the Richmond District.Any Ramen or Shabu Shabu hotpot in Japantown: Follow up with a movie at Sundance Kabuki Theater!
