Last Saturday Central Park was dominated by the activity surrounding the mega-event...the Bon Jovi concert on the Great Lawn.
I had a wedding on my schedule for the Bow Bridge...lovely couple from Australia. The Bow Bridge is not particularly close to the Great Lawn, and the concert was in the evening...no problem. Well, not so fast. The park above 72nd Street was declared a "frozen zone," and the Bow Bridge was in that zone. We needed a "Plan B."
So the savvy couple picked me up at 72nd Street in their limo...and we drove to an "unfrozen" section of the park - The Pond, just a short walk from the Fifth Avenue and 59th Street entrance. It was still crowded...but we found a bit of shade with a lovely bridge as the backdrop.
The handsome couple said their vows, I read greetings from their friends and family back home, and their friends took lots of pictures.
So the moral of this tale is that there will be things on your wedding day that are out of your control. The best thing to do is not let anything get in the way of your having the best day you can have. I take my hat off to Paul and Georgie...they went with the flow and enjoyed New York City as their destination wedding site.
