Are getting married!

SEPTEMBER 22, 2018 IN SAN FRANCISCO

Bride & Groom

Annie Lausier

Born in Maine and raised in North Carolina, Annie studied computer science and digital media before moving out to California.

Everything changed the night her grad school friend Will invited her to a party where she met Michael. She knew he was different when he took her on a fun day trip to Santa Cruz in their first month of dating.

When she's not busy building products at Silicon Valley startups, you can find her going on adventures with Michael, enjoying a good cup of coffee, and hanging out with her cats.

Michael Chrien

Born in Ohio and raised in Texas, Michael grew up loving science, tech, and video games. After studying computer science and working on flight simulators, Michael shipped out to California to work at Electronic Arts.

Over one of their traditional New Year's trips adventures—this time in 2016—Michael led Annie up to Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park in Northern California to pop the question. She answered an ecstatic and overwhelming "yes!"

Michael loves hiking and biking his way around the bay, flight and train simulators, and a good brewery.

The Big Day

Wedding Ceremony

The rustic Log Cabin was built in the 1930s as an officers' club in the former military fort of the Presidio, a stone's throw from the Golden Gate bridge.

The ceremony will be held on the lawn overlooking the city. Dress is semi-casual. Beware of a potential visit from Karl the Fog.

Hotels

Since our wedding falls during peak tourist season in San Francisco, we have secured some courtesy blocks of rooms at a few hotels in Fisherman’s Wharf. Please don't feel obligated to stay at the hotels we picked - we just wanted to ensure that guests at least have some guaranteed accommodations if they want them. Be aware that San Francisco is a dense city, so expect slightly smaller or more "unique" layouts wherever you decide to stay.

Sheraton Fisherman’s Wharf Hotel

2500 Mason St, San Francisco, CA 94133

For a more standard hotel, we have a block of rooms at the Sheraton Fisherman’s Wharf Hotel. They are in the process of remodeling their rooms, and should be completed several months before our wedding.

Lastly, for the budget traveler or those who want a more unique hotel experience, we have rooms at the historic San Remo Hotel. Several blocks down the street from the Sheraton, the Hotel San Remo is roughly halfway between Fisherman's Wharf and North Beach.

Things to Do

There are tons of things to do in San Francisco! Below are some of our favorites.


First time in the city? Check out our guide: Things to Do in San Francisco

Muir Woods

"If you've never seen Redwoods, make the trip, but try to avoid the crowds. Stop at the Pelican Inn for lunch or the Bay Model on the way back into the city."

Pier 39 Sea Lions

"Watch the sea lions seek protection and settle in for the night on the pier."

Golden Gate Bridge

"The iconic landmark of San Francisco. For the best views, head over to the Marin side to Battery Spencer for a great city backdrop."

Angel Island

"The 'Ellis Island of the West' has a history tour, hiking, and picnic areas."

Tony’s Pizza Napoletana

"Tony's world-championship Pizza Margherita is worth the wait in the heart of North Beach."

The Tonga Room

"A bastion of kitschy bygone 1950's San Francisco, the Tonga Room is one of the most ornate tiki bars left. Be sure to explore the Fairmont or catch a Cable Car on California while you're there."

Vesuvio Cafe

"This former Beatnik hangout across from City Lights Bookstore has a cozy second story."

Ferry Building Marketplace

"A good variety of farm to table style eats from around the Bay Area. Grab a sandwich from Cowgirl Sidekick or the Golden Gate Meat Company and enjoy it outside in the back with an amazing view of the Bay Bridge."
