Getting married in the heart of downtown Vancouver
Vancouver is a city of rivers and bridges, so you never have to drive too far to see water. Ironically enough, the heart of downtown is located at the upper end of the city. Consequently, few guests will have to drive south to get there. They'll most likely cross either the Burrard, Granville, or Cambie Street or they can follow good-old Highway 1 (west) and break west at the Grandview exit. Our church ceremony will be held on July 24 at 3 p.m. at Holy Rosary Cathedral, on the corner of Richards & Georgia. I haven't seen the pews in person, but the photos on the internet look impressive. From there, we will move to the Roundhouse Centre at the corner of Pacific & Davie, which is located less than a mile from the church. It goes without saying that downtown parking can be an adventure, so people have the option of parking at the Roundhouse (there's an underground garage) and taking the Skytrain (which actually runs underground) to the church. It's bound to be the most lively Skytrain crowd since the Olympics, lacking only those spontaneous mass recitals of "Oh Canada."
