Because they are avid NY Yankee fans, Debbie and John planned a Yankee-themed wedding celebration - with the wedding ceremony to take place on the baseball field at Nansen Park in Staten Island.
But as luck would have it, the unrelenting rain last Friday meant the ceremony was in the shelter at the park. Even though the outfield ceremony was rained out, the indoor ceremony was just what John and Debbie wanted...warm, lighthearted, and an acknowledgment of their blended families.
And yes, I did use the famous Lou Gehrig quote about being "the luckiest man on the face of the earth"...truly the way this couple felt as they declared their vows.
With the help of the wonderful folks at A Taste Of Honey, the catering group at the park, the tables were numbered by famous Yankee players' numbers, there were pinstripes all about, and you can see that even one of the food stations had the Yankee logo in the ice.
Ceremony Tip: Don't hesitate to suggest a theme to your wedding officiant. Whether your ceremony is religious or civil, you may have a wedding officiant who will find a way to incorporate your theme into the ceremony. I used many baseball references in the love story I told about this couple...and it was a homerun!
