With the warm golden sun of the late afternoon shing on their faces, Estelle and Anthony declared their vows last Saturday. The setting at the Water's Edge in Long Island City had magnificent views of the Manhattan skyline...appropriately, because theirs is a New York love story....with a delightful Radio City Music Hall connection...and a 26 year romance. (Their wedding invitation had the phrase: A world filled with love, ever old, ever new!)
As the procession came in...the audience cheered the groom, and then each member of the wedding party. I was slightly worried that this "crowd" might be unruly...but they were just so delighted that Estelle and Anthony finally were getting married.
Not many couples opt to have their ceremony videoed these days...and when they do, most of the time the videographer is just in the way for the ceremony. (Sorry...but it's true!) Not so for Alan Bloom...who was very professional - even adjusting and readjusting to get around the lighting problems caused by the setting sun shining directly into the ceremony space. I hope I get to see his work on this ceremony some day.
Ceremony Idea: Estelle and Anthony placed pictures of family and themselves around the reception area. It was interesting to see them as children, as a younger version of themselves, and to see their parents' wedding pictures.
Julie Laudicina, Celebrant!
