Everybody Loves Cop Cot


Cop Cot is a funny sounding name for the largest and oldest rustic structure in Central Park in New York City.  It is a favorite spot for couples from around the world who come here for their destination wedding.

Lorna and Matt got married here a few days ago.  With their twenty plus family and friends from around the world, their ceremony began in unexpected sunshine.  I tied the couple to this structure with its Scottish name by recalling Matt's Scottish-born grandfather.  Lorna had a brooch from another grandparent in her bouquet.  Uncle Mike read a humous piece likening love to owning a dog...a nod to Lorna and Matt's dog Charley.

Vows were spoken, rings exchanges, tears of joy from parents and friends...and at last the kiss!

Then they were off in with wonderful photographer Brian Friedman to take pictures at iconic NYC sites.  Have fun in the checker cab with the Union Jack flying! Cheerio!

Now you won't see pictures of this ceremony or the couple.  Lorna requested no pix on the internet until they have their party back home in Manchester, UK...wants to keep her dress a secret.  I'm doing my part here!
