An English couple, Craig and Michelle, engaged me as their wedding officiant for their NYC destination wedding. Michelle was so impressed with all the arrangements that Craig made...quite under-estimating the level of details required. But he succeeded in giving her the special day they both wanted.
With their parents by their side, they declared their vows, exchanged rings, and, of course, had the ceremonial kiss as they were declared husband and wife. Central Park's Ladies Pavillion provided the perfect setting for a real New York City wedding.
It was a pleasure to make this happy celebration happen for them...along with my friend and photographer, Brian Freedman. He makes magic with his images.
I suppose since I watched this summer's royal wedding with intense interest, I became fascinated by "fascinators." Both mothers of the couple wore them...quite lovely...and fascinating!
Ceremony Tip: Getting married in a very public place means there will be folks you don't know walking around during the ceremony, and the hum of activity in the park is inescapable. Craig and Michelle did the right thing...they blocked out the movement and peripheral noise. They focused on each other. Their doing so made their ceremony a private and meaningful moment for them.
Julie Laudicina, Celebrant!
