Descanso Gardens

Living in Los Angeles it's sometimes easy to forget that the plants that the plants around us are actually not native to the area (although there's no doubt that just about anything and everything thrives here). However, Descanso Gardens was founded to preserve that natural Southern California beauty; it offers acres upon acres of beautiful land to roam through and with features with ponds, waterfalls, rose gardens, and pagodas, there's no doubt that it's a beautiful refuge. With events continually on going (such as jazz music nights and the upcoming carved pumpkin festival) there's certain to be something that tickles your fancy. If you're lucky, while you're visiting you may even see some wedding festivities going on! This can be a great segue to talking about that happy event in your own lives. If you're already married talk about what you remember from your big day; who was there? did anything funny happen? what were your thoughts when you saw each other for the first time that day? Go over any details that stand out in your mind. Talking about past special occasions  can be a way to reignite the spark in the here and now. If you haven't gotten married yet, maybe take some time (if appropriate) to talk about your future plans. You can talk in vague generalities or get as specific as mentioning the decor for your own wedding. Whatever you end up doing, enjoy the beautiful surroundings and take full advantage of this time with your main squeeze.
