In San Diego, hugely popular for a destination wedding, she’s a favorite wedding guest, a real head turner.  Cameras click when she arrives.  Although always perfectly attired in all white, trimmed in gold with tasteful touches of appliquéd roses, she exhibits proper wedding etiquette, never outshining the bride.

She’s a newcomer to San Diego, making appearances at special wedding venues all over town. She causes quite a stir as she arrives for the ceremony at such spectacular locations as the Wedding Bowl in La Jolla or Coronado South Beach in front of the magnificent Hotel Del on a glorious San Diego day.  She’s really noticed when she pulls up for the reception at the brand new, very trendy Hard Rock Hotel in the Gaslamp Quarter, or the elegant Prado Restaurant in Balboa Park.

Who is this mystery wedding guest?  She’s Felicity, the star, and only girl, in Old Town Trolley Tours of San Diego’s proud fleet of Victorian trolleys, and she’s a favorite of brides.  In the trolley barn, where she resides waiting for her turn in the spotlight, Felicity has a corner room of her own, well away from all the orange and green clad boys.

Although Felicity loves attention, she knows just how to do her part to make the day really special.  Weddings are all about the bride, and Felicity knows it.  It’s just a girl thing.  Girls have an exact mental picture of just the way they want everything to be: a picture-perfect dream wedding straight from the pages of bridal magazines.    

On the day of the wedding, Felicity glows.  Elegantly understated, her brass is polished, her mahogany trim shines, her candlelight-hued, cord-trimmed seats fluffed.  Her conductor is dressed in a tuxedo, just to her liking, and the red carpet is ready to be unfurled for her bride.

At the appointed hour, Felicity picks up the bridal party and they’re off to the ceremony, through the streets of San Diego, turning heads along the way.  Following proper wedding decorum, Felicity makes sure her bride is the last person to exit, just in time to make her entrance.

Walking down the red carpet, it’s just as the bride imagined it would be — all eyes are on her!
