We kept our wedding 2 1/2 years ago pretty small with only close family, sequestered in the deserts of Nevada for a beautifully scenic, if brief, ceremony. My wife's aunt and uncle DID throw us a full-blown tropical shindig at their house (complete with pool party), and we had our reception of sorts at the inimitable Frankie's.

They were excellent and oh-so accommodating with cocktails and gave us the place to ourselves
for a couple hours.

We had an amazing time!

From Vegas we went to San Francisco for our honeymoon and hit every tiki establishment we could find (even Trader Sam's!) Here's a shot of the round of complimentary drinks the more-than-gracious staff
at the Tonga Room bought us..

Phenomenal place... one of the best! If only they'd had a different band...
