The bride was beautiful, the groom so handsome...not unusual. But Gloria and George have such a genuinely beautiful spirit about them that they are an unusual couple.
They selected the lyrics of a Spanish song (which they later had played at their reception) to set the tone for their ceremony..."Thank You To Life..." The words of this song fit this couple who are indeed thankful for all they have been given in life, especially their love for one another.
To cap off their ceremony, they went outside to release doves. As the shimmering white birds took flight, they announced to all around that George and Gloria's marriage had begun. Thank you to life...the life they will now share.
As always, the staff at Nicotra's Ballroom at the Hilton Garden Inn, Staten Island, NY, was warm, efficient, and very professional. It's a joy to work with them.
Ceremony Tip: If you decide to release doves as part of your wedding ceremony, be certain that you check out the supplier of the birds. Make sure the birds are white homing pigeons (who will safely take wing and fly home)...not helpless doves who just are left to fend for themeselves. The folks at Love Doves are reliable, good to their birds, and they provide beautiful cages that are a lovely enhancement to your ceremony decorations.
Julie Laudicina,Celebrant!
