Whether it is your first anniversary or your fiftieth...it is a wonderful moment to renew the promises you made on your wedding day.
Tony and Stephanie celebrated their first anniversary by coming from Florida to New York City. In addition to shopping and going to museums and shows, they took time on the exact date of their first anniversary to renew their vows.
They selected The Bow Bridge in Central Park for the location...it is romantic and there are wonderful cityscapes from all directions.
To personalize their ceremony, I used words from the Aerosmith song, "I Don't Want to Close My Eyes," which was the song for their first dance at their wedding reception last year..."Forever and ever." So their vow renewal ceremony was linked to their wedding day.
During the ceremony it seemed like people were all over the bridge...talking on cell phones right next to us, calming weary infants, and chattering in other languages. But for Tony and Stephanie...they were in a world by themselves...remembering their wedding day and the reasons they have pledged their love to each other for life.
My husband and I took some pictures of them. The crowds that had been so evident during their ceremony disappeared so it looks like The Bow Bridge was their private domain for just a few moments...a small gfit from New York City to these Floridian lovebirds!
