This is the entrance to the beach. This entrance has a bigger sand patch, so we are thinking we will do it right under the palm trees were those that need seats (grandparents) can sit on the wall.

This will be right behind us to the right. I think it will provide for great photos

and this is the stairway down from that bridge. I'm going to stay in that hotel the night before the wedding and then We will stay their that night.

What do you think about having my Dad walk me down that staircase to Alan and then Alan and I walking together to the actual sand??(about 150 yds away) I'm trying to work out something (in my head) were the 1st time he will see me is coming down that staircase. Would it be best to have my Dad on the other side of me walking with us? If not what does he do? Any other brilliant ideas???

Oh that's so nice! Beautiful location.

I think that would be really sweet with your dad walking you down the staircase.

It's just beautiful. But it is a long way to walk.

First, in all your bridal finery you have to walk across the bridge, then down the stairs, then 150 yards out to the ceremony site. I'd hate to see you with a sheen of perspiration spotting your face and dotting your dress. Could you come over in the limo, then just before the start, while the guests are arriving, sneak up the beach side stairs with your dad and do the formal walk-down?

Then the next 150 yards across the sand. And that is the soft fluffy sand right by the parking area, not the easiest thing to walk on. Can you get some type of runner so your heels don't sink into the ploufft sand?

I would get real chairs for the elderly grandparents.

But the whole locations is just beautiful.

We would love to get real chairs for the grandparents, but if we do we can't get married until Oct.

because they consider 1 (one) chair setting up and then require a "monitor" at $85 an hour for a min. of 4 hours. They don't allow weddings that include "set up" until fall.

The walk is actually across black top, but I don't know that that is any better. I am sure glad you are all here to point this stuff out to me

Guess I need to keep working on this idea. I really like the idea of Alan 1st seeing me comming down it... but not sure how to work out the logistics.

? the tower there beside the steps does it take u up to the top.

Another ? would it be possible to go ahead b-4 the guest start to arrive drive over to the parking lot and go to the top and hide till every thing is in place. Then have your father walk u down and you and your fh walk together. If you do that I would just have your father walk behind u. He will still have to say I do or her mother and I when the preacher ask. What is the normal temp. in Aug where u are getting married. 150 yd is a half of a foot ball field! I think that is right!

WOW - if you make that walk in the warm weather (it looks warm there anyway) in a wedding gown and heels, MORE POWER TO YA!! You know yourself better than anyone though, if its no problem for you to make it, good deal. The area looks beautiful hun!

oh that's so pretty!

Oh My!
It is a really charming place to get married.
I like the idea of your father walk you down that staircase

wembley · #10 03-26-2006, 05:31 PM

That is beautiful! I would say that if you walked across the bridge before guests started coming and hung out at the top of the tower until it was time to go, you'd be fine having your dad walk you down the steps to meet Alan and then the two of you walked to the sand. I think it would be very sweet to walk down the steps to him.

They're right, if you have to walk to the whole bridge and the stairs when it's time and then go across the to the sand, that might be a long walk for you and the guests but if you're already at the top of the tower, that's not so far and it will be October so it shouldn't be a million degrees, right?

I like the idea of walking down the stairs with your father and then having your groom meet you and walk the remainder of the way. It will be a unique entrance and should get some great photos.

That's gorgeous!!!

I think it would be beautiful if you walked down the stairs with your dad before walking across to the ceremony site. I couldn't do it, though. I'd probably fall down the stairs, and even if I made it down, I sweat so easily that I'd be covered in perspiration by the time I got to the ceremony area.

breezy · #14 03-27-2006, 06:34 PM

I'm not willing to ditch the idea yet, but definately need to think more on it. You all brought up some valid issues.

I suppose alot will depend on my dress (still not selected) If I go casual, it won't be as big an issue and a heavy traditional dress.

The weather will probably be high 70's low 80's. The evenings cool off and there is a great breeze on the beach so that will help a bit.

think girl, think... like I said, I'm gonna have to brainstorm more.
