A Sweet Adventure: The Ceremony Site
I always knew I wanted to get married at a church. Growing up, I never envisioned having an outdoor ceremony or anywhere else outside the church. I want a traditional Catholic ceremony. There are a lot of beautiful and historic churches in San Francisco. I had a couple in mind but Saints Peter and Paul Church had always been at the top. On our first trip to the Bay Area after we got engaged, we decided to attend the 7:30am mass there. There weren’t lot of people and most at that attendees were tourists. We later found out that there’s a strong Chinese and Italian presence at the church. The priest gave a really good sermon and we knew that we definitely wanted to get married there.
Saints Peter and Paul Church was completed in 1924 with a Neo-Gothic design. The twin lofty spires and rose window make the exterior distinguishable. The interior is equally amazing – pictures and a description just don’t do it justice.
After my last visit to the church with our families, we discovered that Joe DiMaggio was married to Dorothy Arnold there. There’s a book on the side entrance next to the office displaying a picture of their wedding. Joe DiMaggio’s funeral was also taken place at the church.
This is where I’ll be walking down the aisle:
It’s a beautiful church and I’m glad our families were able to see and get excited about the church! I’m even more excited to be getting married there!!
