Right in the Middle of Grand Central Terminal

 

 

 

Pete and Alessandra came from Toronto for a weekend in NYC that included an intimate wedding ceremony...just the two of them...in the middle of Grand Central Terminal.  You might not think they had as private moment with all the hub-bub around them...but it was intensely private.

Their short ceremony included a few words about what they love about each other, how their professional friendship turned to romance and then love, and then they spoke very traditional vows that were quite emotional for both of them.

When they kissed at the end of their ceremony...everyone around them applauded.  This seemed to surprise Alessandra and Pete, because for a few minutes in one of the busiest spots in the world, they were alone...just the two of them...unaware of the crowd that stopped to quietly watch a wonderful moment.

Pete send me a short thank you a few days later...describing their wedding as simply "magical."

Winter Wonderland

 

 

 

Connecting all the pieces of your wedding day makes your statement about your wedding come alive.
Jennifer and Michael selected words for the runner that was positioned down the aisle...the first words that their guests saw.  The words were used again to introduce their vows.

A quote on love and marriage on their wedding program was part of the ceremony too.

The visual image of the blue and ice played into the introduction...the winter wedding the bride wanted.  Words, images, colors, and emotions all came together.

Mike and Jenn presented her daughter with a necklace during the ceremony...a symbolic gesture that their new marriage would also be a new family with the three of them building a life together.
To use a winter word:  Cool!
