So this happened ... I got a phone call yesterday from the lovely lady who handles weddings for the S.F. Parks Dept. And it seems that the construction timetable for the POFA has changed. Which means that we no longer have our venue on our date.
Fuck.
The weird thing is that the place will be available from May 15th through August 15th. (I don't get it either -- apparently there's going to be another "phase" of retrofitting. Whatever that means.) So we seem to have two options before us: a) new date, or b) new location.
The main reason that I'm completely open to changing the date is that we'd only picked it thinking that we could get the Palace by then. And frankly, I wouldn't mind a bit if I suddenly knew there were going to be 10 fewer weeks of this planning insanity in my life.
In a little bit of serendipity, Mr. UB & I were already planning a quick trip to S.F. on Monday, because my little sis from Ohio is going to be in town. Oh, and he still needs to meet my dad. (Yes, he "cold-called" my dad to ask for his permission to marry me. The boy has balls of steel.) So we'll be able to visit the alternate park sites that are available in August, and figure out which option makes more sense.
Thank goodness no one's bought their plane tickets yet. Sheesh.

Way to find the brightside! We've got a park venue with construction/renovation set to finish up five months before our wedding, and god as my witness there will be hell to pay if they change up the 'schedule'.
PS - I like that you have a tag for 'Scary' haha
wow, that bites! unbelievable that they could cancel your date!!! you are remarkably composed - i would be having a fit (followed by several stiff drinks!) have you considered the shakespeare garden at GG Park? a friend of mine got married there awhile back, and it was really lovely. i think a practical wedding a series on affordable place to get married in SF, too. good luck
Oh gosh! You're handling that very well, I think I'd be a mess.
yikes. nightmare turned not so bad. and i hear you on the 10 fewer weeks. am i married yet? feels like it...
Hopefully this is close to being resolved and that all is well for you. To try and cheer you slightly I have given you some awards, check out my new blog to 'claim' them :)
Hope it all gets sorted out without too much stress!
