Inna and John met while working together at the Olive Garden Stonestown. Inna was a student at UC Davis commuting into the city for bartending shifts, while John was a student at SFSU adjacent to the mall. Early conversations were slow and stubborn but interest and intrigue was evident. Late nights at local sunset bars were the equivalent of our courting period and a relationship built on breadsticks and pasta was solidifying its foundation. It may have taken 9 years from when we first met, but on November 11, 2017 we will have the opportunity to finalize what we knew all along, our bond as friends, #1 fans, and partners will be solidified by our vows of love, and a life-long commitment to each other.
The wedding will take place at Aracely Cafe on Treasure Island in San Francisco. Connected to San Francisco by the Bay Bridge, Treasure Island is a quiet community with various wine tasting rooms, breweries, outdoor activities and is host to the Treasure Island Music Festival and Treasure Island Flea Market. Aracely Cafe is described as a hidden gem of a restaurant with an adorable outdoor garden and delicious brunch selections. The wedding venue is a familiar place for the bride, we found Aracely Cafe while looking for Inna's old elementary school; as it turns out, the elementary school she attended was shuttered and repurposed into Aracely Cafe and Event Space. We look forward to having you join us as our guests.
There will be free parking available at the venue, and the venue address is 401 13th St, San Francisco, CA 94130.
