Wedding Party

The dress code for the wedding is cocktail attire. Please refer to this article for helpful suggestions and defintions: <a href="https://www.nordstrom.com/browse/content/blog/what-is-cocktail-attire?srsltid=AfmBOopyMgy2gVDc8i9mX-W5W3FvV-kr9nswCP_UHUbhZXvzjxOuQIO_" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dressing to Impress: Your Guide to Cocktail Attire for Women &amp; Men</a>

Dress Code

Travel

For those who are traveling a great distance, below are two hotel recommendations. If you prefer to stay elsewhere, or have questions on where else to stay, please send me (Logan) a text.

This hotel is located in Brea, north Orange County. This is a quiet area that has quick access to the 57 freeway and walking distance from the Brea mall. It's about a 30-45-minute drive to the wedding venue, but is closer to many of the Southern California attractions such as Disneyland and the beach.

Embassy Suites by Hilton Brea North Orange County

This hotel is located on the northeast side of Claremont, the city of trees and PhD's. While it is further inland than Orange County, this location is about 15-minutes away from the wedding venue.

We're glad you'll be joining us for our wedding! For those who are coming great distances or for those who are near, see below for a few sentimental food locations.

For our third date, I asked Mayra to plan it all out. She chose ice skating, followed by a trip to one of her favorite restaurants--a Mexican/Japanese fusion restaurant. This is where Mayra introduced me to the idea that she orders what she likes and I order what she thinks she might like... so... you know... we can share.

El Sushi Loco Sushi & Mariscos La Puente

What better way to vet a possible future girlfriend than introducing her to your friend over Korean-fried chicken sandwiches?

HOLDAAK

Located on the backside of the Laguna Niguel Ritz-Carlton and overlooking the ocean, it's a perfect little spot to enjoy drinks and a beautiful sunset... Also, this is where I asked Mayra to be my girlfriend!

180blu

After working-up enough courage to ask Mayra to be my girlfriend (I had to ask twice), this was the only restaurant still open.

In-N-Out Burger

I decided to take Mayra to this beautiful and... what's the word... "swanky" Mexican restaurant for our 1st year anniversary of dating. It has a large menu and everything is excellent. I went for the chips and guac and enchilada trio; Mayra had their Lamb in mole negro.

Red O "Taste of Mexico"

What better way to prepare for a possible proposal than introducing her to yet more of your friends over some of the best Napoletano-style pizza (the O.G. pizza and most authentic I've had in the US)?

Fuoco Pizzeria Napoletana

Nothing sentimental here but their incredible bruschetta. Actually, Mayra's favorite food (or second favorite) is Italian food. After saying she loved Olive Garden and Bucca di Beppo, it was time to take her to a real Italian restaurant. This is some of the best Italian food I've ever had--and I've spent quite a bit of time in Italy.

Aruffo's Italian Cuisine

After a series of unfortunate events, followed by a strenuous hike from the Kintoki Shrine to the top of Mount Ashigara, I asked Mayra to be my wife. After getting down the mountain, we taxied to Itoh Dining by Nobu. Japan is a bit far to travel for an evening dinner, so Nobu in Los Angeles will have to do (there is also one in Newport). They serve Peruvian-accented Japanese food.

Nobu Los Angeles

A delicious Mexican restaurant that, according to their website, is "easy-going". Don't believe that for a moment. Great food, great vibe, but on the weekends they like to party. This is where I first introduced a few of my family to Mayra's parents.

Casa Diaz Sabor a Mexico

Below are a list of good places to eat... maybe not as sentimental as the rest, but good nonetheless.

The perfect southern California experience--a solo burger shack on the side of the highway, sitting on a wooden deck, overlooking the ocean.

Crystal Cove Shake Shack

Classic California BBQ which, if I may say, beats-out Texas any day of the week--including Sunday.
