Sneak Peek: Reception and Ceremony Site Porn!

In one of my previous posts, I mentioned that we had already selected and reserved our reception site. Well, Mr. Nee and I went to Balboa Park yesterday and took some pictures:
This is the entrance to our reception site. The fountain and the mural, I believe were completed by the same artist in the late 1930s. I love how the natural light hits both of them.



As I am a graduate student in Geography, it is only appropriate that our reception site be equipped with an antiquated map!



I love the windows and how the light flows through them!



Here is a close up of one of the ceiling lamps. I love the bronze detail along the top.




Our ceremony site is in a butterfly garden. When the grotto was first built it was a nudist colony but is now known as the Butterfly Garden (aka Zoro Garden) and was dedicated as such two days before we met in 2007! We saw this as a sign to have our ceremony here! We were also impressed how many monarch butterflies we saw so late in the year. This gives us hope that they will be around next year around this time!
