Gray Skies are Gonna Clear Up


For the last two weeks, couples who have scheduled outdoor weddings in the NY/NJ area have just crossed their fingers and hoped for the best. For Bonnie and Alan, it worked! Their wedding ceremony in the relatively new Brooklyn Bridge Park was held under sunny skies.

With the lower Manhattan skyline as the backdrop and the majestic Brooklyn Bridge anchorages in view too, Bonnie and Alan said their vows...witnessed by their parents and their sisters, all here from the UK.


I appreciate it when couples infuse their wedding with symbols of their own. Bonnie's bouquet was constructed from a collection of sparking pins, brooches, and a coin from Antiqua, where Alan proposed. A couple of the pins were heirloom pieces from their families.

Ceremony Tip: Find that special connection to family heritage to include in your ceremony...a favorite poem, reusing vows your parents used, a flower in bouquets from your parent's garden, or jewelry worn by your great-grandmother. Have your celebrant incorporate words about this symbol into the ceremony.
