Brides don’t always wear white veils. This stunning Kingfisher wedding headdress is similar to those originally worn only by Chinese Empresses: http://ow.ly/o8qk5

One of the big surprises for folks when we give tours of the buildings and grounds is that we have a 100-year-old Spanish-style chapel on site. Nothing else like it in San Diego for a wedding. More about its history here: http://www.museumofman.org/saint-francis-chapel
