The Ceremony will be held at Alice Keck Park which is on the corner of Santa Barbara Street and Micheltorena St and only two blocks from The University Club.  

Please park at the University Club, walk out to the street and walk up the street towards the park.  You will pass a large grassy area which is called Kids World and then at the corner you will arrive at the botanical gargen called Alice Keck Park.  If you aren't sure where it is, just follow the person in front of you :) The ceremony will be facing the koi pond and gazebo for those who have been there.  

I am planning to walk down the aisle right around 3:30pm as sunset that day is at 4:55pm and we would like some light left for pictures.  The ceremony will be short and sweet, so no need to bring your chair pillows. :) 

After the ceremony concludes, please do not leave the park. Peter and I will need to take three quick posed pictures at the park and then we would love one group picture in front of the pond, and then as a group we will parade back down Santa Barbara Street like they do in the streets of Italy after weddings that happen there!  

Never fear, you will not be bored during the picture taking.  There will be blank, decorated signs in the corner of the park just behind the chairs where you can create your own inscription to use in the parade.  Now obviously, anything goes. We would love to have a mixture of funny (ball and chain) to sincere (true love always) and of course over the top (50/50 chance!) as our hope is the pictures of the parade will be hilarious and hopefully we will get lots of honking from the cars passing by.  Start thinking now about what you are going to write on your sign! Peter and I will be in the front of the group, leading the parade with a sign that says, "Just Married; Mr and Mrs. Collins" :) 

Then once the parade ends and we end up back at The University Club, we would like a picture of the entire group in front of the University Club, so please wait at the main entrance till all guests arrive and we will try to get a group shot. :) Oh this is going to be sooooo much fun!
