Is that the one that said the wedding would be in Pasadena?

Yes.

I know there is a Ritz Carlton in Pasadena and maybe a Four Seasons. Wondering if they are trying to keep it all indoors so that they don't have the issue of helicopters....

or they dont' want to take a chance on the whether - remember what happened with Jason/Molly.

Most top notch venues that have the capabilities to have an outdoor wedding, have the flexibility to move indoors should weather be inclement. I don't know wth went wrong in planning Molly/Jason's but that was a major screw up in their wedding planner not to have that alternative.
Usually, you do not have to decide about moving ceremony from out to in until that morning.

There's a beautiful botanical garden in Pasadena called Descanso Gardens. It has indoor and outdoor facilities, lots of open space for an outdoor ceremony and a place for the reception. I wonder of this is the wedding location.

yeah - I never understood why they didn't move it indoors - IIRC the weather looked iffy before folks started arriving.

But Descanso only offers 180ppl capacity indoor... and reception only until 10pm. They would have to wriggle a deal to change that...

I thought rain on your wedding day is supposed to be some type of good luck?

Here are some pictures from Jason and Molly's wedding

well - it didnt' work for me - and I also lost power for a few hours that day as well - luckily it was back on for the ceremony.

but yeah - the saying is

"Happiest is the bride it rains on"

Ashley and JP’s wedding takes place this Saturday in California, but will be shown on Dec. 16th. Location is obviously kept under wraps as long as they can, but I’m sure it will get out sometime this week. Even the people in the wedding aren’t even told where it is. They know it’s in California, but once they arrive this week, they are put up in a hotel, then either bussed over to the location or given directions that morning if they driving themselves. Pretty ridiculous I know, especially considering you know this show wants as much coverage of this wedding as possible. It’s gonna get out at some point this week and paparazzi will be there front and center getting pictures for the tabloids so you can see stuff well before the show airs on the 16th. Whatever the case, for those that are interested, here is a list of “Bachelor/ette” alumni who will be in attendance:

Couples (obviously): Trista & Ryan, Jason & Molly

Women: Marissa May, Britt Billmaier, Ashley Spivey, Ali Fedotowsky, Michelle Money, Lisa Morrisey, Alli Travis, and Emily Maynard.

Men: Graham Bunn, William Holman, Mickey McLean, Ames Brown, Michael Stagliano, and yes, Sean Lowe will be there. Obviously, he’s not going to be there with ( removed spoiler ) cuz, well, that’d kinda give it away. But he will be in attendance no doubt since they need him there to promote his upcoming season

Thanks for bringing this over. I would think that the guests at least know which California airport to fly to!

And I find some of the female invites interesting....didn't realize Ashley was friends with Marissa, Lisa M. And Alli. Guess she never connected with Chantal/Shawntel. Bet she wouldn't have invited Emily but TPTB want her there. Will definitely look forward to seeing some of those guys. Anyone surprised that Ben F. isn't in the mix?

^Ben was invited but had to decline because of a work related thing.

I'm actually shocked their aren't more Bach people going. With the exception of Sean, the rest are friends with one or both members of the couple and ones I would expect to be there.
