It is always a dream come true to have wonderful weather for your outside wedding. Tarrah and Jim got married in the dramatic gazebo at Nicotra's Ballroom at The Hilton Garden Inn, Staten Island, NY. I think it was just the wedding ceremony they envisioned having.
Their engagement story is unique. Jim took a book of poems he'd purchased for Tarrah, and cut a heart-shaped niche out of several pages...just enough space for the book to conseal the engagement ring. He wrote his own poem which he positioned in the front of the book...a poem that ended with "Will you marry me?" And then he suggested she look at page 196...where she found the ring.
For one of the readings in their ceremony, the included a reading from that book of poems.
Ceremony Idea: Think of ways to link your engagement story into some part of the ceremony. It could be a ritual with your engagement ring. It could be incorporating some of the words you shared that on your engagement day into your personal vows. It is fitting to acknowledge the end of your engagement in the ceremony...because a new phase of your relationship begins on your wedding day.
