Megan and Phil met on the Jersey Shore many years ago. Their paths crossed now and then, but one or the other was always involved with someone else. A couple years ago they ran into each other at a diner, and this time neither was involved. They started dating and made up for lost time with newly discovered romance. This was long overdue, and they are quite a match!
Their wedding ceremony was at Island Chateau, a one-event-at-a-time venue on Staten Island. You can't find more client-focused management and staff! I also observed the respectful and careful work of their photographer, Angel, of Photography Elite Inc.
Just before the ceremony, the couple and their witnesses gathered in a private room to sign the license and keepsake certificate. It was a quiet moment in the midst of excitement that helped all of us focus our emotions and thoughts on the ceremony to follow.
While Megan was beautiful, especially in a bridal crown worn by her mother and her aunt in their weddings, it was Phil and his entourage who definitely stole the show with their unusual tuxedos and cool hats. Somehow, these suits were made for these charming and exhuberant men!
Ceremony Tip: Don't forget to schedule time for the signing of your marriage license on your wedding day. It only takes a couple minutes - but it is a significant part of the ceremonial things you do that day. Determine who your witnesses will be ahead of time and formally ask them..it is an honor you bestow on them. Decide if you want to have photographs of this moment. Be sure to give your parents the opportunity to be present. Another option is to sign the documents during the ceremony.
