Top of the Rock

Julie Laudicina, Celebrant!

I missed writing about a thrilling wedding last summer at The Top of the Rock. The bride and groom, from the UK, selected this spot so they could feel they were really in NYC for their wedding. The view north toward Central Park was spectacular. The couple spoke their vows, exchanged rings, and shared the moment with her son and his girl friend. Just loverly!




The stunning photographs by my friend Brian Friedman tell the story. The pictures in this blog entry are his work.


Destination wedding tip: It was nerve-wracking For Paul and Kim that their NYC marriage certificate didn't arrive via mail...not for months. It's unusual, but in their case, it happened. I got legal permission from them to go to the City Clerk's Office to straighten it out so that they finally got their certificate. Neither they nor I would like to go through that worry, expense, and effort again.
An international couple coming to NYC to get legally married has the option of bringing the completed marriage license back to the City Clerk's Office after the wedding. The Clerk will give the couple their certificate to them that day. So consider this return visit to "city hall" as a prudent use of your time in NYC...getting that certificate in your hands before you fly home.
