Three Places for a Great Gay Wedding in California

Now that Prop 8 is overturned, it's time to throw a party. And we're not talking just any old party, but a big fat gay wedding. Same-sex lovebirds can flock to California to make it official, so we scoped out places for you to get hitched.

Check out our top three three gay-friendly spots where you can finally—and now legally—tie the knot.

· Riviera Resort & Spa, Palm Springs
When Ellen and Portia were planning their nuptials, the Riviera was reportedly the No. 1 venue. The ladies ended up getting married in their Beverly Hills home, but that doesn't mean their wedding research should go to waste. The Palm Springs hotel's gardens and pool look striking against the desert backdrop.

· West Street Beach, Laguna Beach
If you are gonna have a Cali wedding, you have to at least consider getting hitched on the beach. Bring your betrothed to the sandy strip where a lot of gays hang, Laguna Beach's West Street Beach, to exchange your vows. The Orange County coastal community's gorgeous waters will make for great wedding photos.

· Buena Vista Park
Say "I do" in the U.S.'s most gay-friendly city, San Francisco. While Buena Vista Park doesn't have Golden Gate Park's fame, the 36-acre oasis is in the Haight, where the fight for gay rights began. A wedding here would be a nice nod to the past while taking another step toward equality.
