A New York wedding
The first time we met Brett was at our own wedding last August and by that time he had already swept Jill off her feet and proposed to her so we were very interested to see who this mystery man could be. As it happens, he's a great guy and the two of them couldn't make a happier couple. We were invited to their wedding and after a few hems and haws about the cost of flights out to NY twice in 6 months we decided to throw caution to the wind and go anyway. I mean they only get married once right? Boy are we glad we went.
Jill & Brett have obviously been planning things for a while (with a large amount of help from Jill's mum) because we had an absolutely magic time. This is Jill & Brett at the rehearsal dinner which all the out of town guests, family and the bridal party were invited to the night before.

I could compare and contrast their wedding with ours all day and all night, but in the end it was all about the same thing. A celebration of love between a very special couple in front of friends and family. They just happened to live in New York and have a little grander idea of what a fairytale wedding would be like. I think I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking about one of the most stunning weddings I've ever had the pleasure of attending.
It was a black tie affair, so we went suitably attired
The flowers and vines on the huppah were amazing
The wedding and reception were at the Metropolitan Club
Cherry blossom trees framing the aisle to the huppah. The Metropolitan Club was such a beautiful venue they could give guided tours of it
I may be overdoing it on the flowers but they were just so beautiful
We were at table 9. All of the cards were hand drawn calligraphy
Vase for table centerpieces. This is at my eye level
Baby lobster (de-shelled) for appetizers
The lovely couple
I have a lot more photos and even more memories of the night (up until a certain point anyway ;-) but there's only so much web space on flickr for me this month and there are still more things to talk about since my last blog update.
