It was a delightful surprise to enter Central Park's Conservatory Garden for the first time. You go through the Vanderbilt Gates and turn left and right...and there you come upon a lovely reflecting pool with seasonal plantings...just a charming spot for an intimate wedding.
Corine and David came to New York last winter to select the location for their ceremony in Central Park. They found The Secret Garden...and they loved it. So they invited family and friends from their home in Canada to come to NYC and share their wedding in this lovely setting.
With the music of a violin and cello in the background, Corine's father escorted her to her groom who stood in front of a circle of guests. I talked about "real love" in relationship to this bride and groom. They spoke vows, exchanged rings, and I declared them husband and wife.
This is the 13th year David and Corine are together...so it was appropriate for them to be married on the 13th. It was indeed a lucky day for them. The rain held off until the ceremony and the hugs and kisses were done...and everyone was off to a celebratory dinner at Ristorante Del Posto in lower Manhattan.
The Conservatory Garden does require a permit to have a wedding there. Check out the park's website for details.
