The pastoral setting on the lawn of Fiddler's Elbow Country Club in Bedminster, NJ, was perfect for Pam and Paul. They wanted to exchange their vows surrounded by nature...and of course, their family and friends.
Several of Paul's family and friends arrived from the UK...many from Wales. His sister and her friend said they would wear the trendy sculptured hats worn in English and Welsh weddings these days. Paul told them not to...American women don't wear hats to weddings. But the charming women wore their hats anyway to spoof the groom...and they looked stunning in them!
It was fun to reunite with Shira Weinberger, their photographer. We did a wedding together last winter...and Shira remembered the names of that bride and groom in a nano second. Take a look at her engagement photos of Paul and Pam on Shira's web site...edgy urban shots taken in the meat packing district of Manhattan. Then check out her wedding pictures of them in a couple weeks. The contrast between urban and country should be eye-catching.
The staff at Fiddler's Elbow took comand of the ceremony staging made my pre-ceremony life so stress-free. Thank you, Kristine.
And finally, the young harpist, Violetta Norrie, performed the processional and recesisonal music beautifully. What a talent!
All the best to you, Pam and Paul!
