Nick and Charlotte selected the rooftop of the engineering building at Columbia University for the location of their wedding. He's in a graduate program there, and the views of the city gave a nod to Charlotte's field of study - architecture.
The ceremony I created for them was a platform for their creativity. Nick read a poem he'd written for Charlotte. They spoke the vows they wanted to say. A small group of friends surrounded them...with cameras, picnic baskets, and colorful parasols. Charlotte made her wedding dress.
They liked the ring warming ritual I suggested. Charlotte used the same color ribbons as her dress to tie the rings together. The rings were passed among all the guests who held the rings for a moment as they silently gave Nick and Charlotte good wishes and blessings on their day.
After the ceremony, the guests walked to Riverside Park for a celebratory picnic. Nick and Charlotte smiled throughout the day...and kept on hugging each other.
