During Fred and Liz's ceremony, they were serenaded by Fred's uncle who sang the song made famous by Otis Redding, "That's How Strong My Love Is." This couple strong love is so important to them that they had this wedding to speak their vows and exchange rings in the presence of family and friends. For, you see, they had eloped in Europe a couple years ago...and it just didn't seem complete to have begun their married life without a formal and public ceremony.
So in the garden setting of The Foundry in Long Island City, Fred and Liz held their wedding rings over their hearts as they spoke their vows...this time for all to hear. With the 59th Street Bridge as the backdrop for the ceremony, Fred and Liz's family and friends stood in support as I expressed the good wishes of all present to the bride and groom.
Fred and Liz interviewed me last December...so I had ample time to write their ceremony and send edited versions back and forth several times so it was just what they wanted. When they OK'd the final version of the ceremony script, Liz said she knew she's cry at the wedding. In the end, it was Fred who was moved to tears during the ceremony....that's how strong his love is!
