This is a pretty special wedding. Not only does the bride share my name, which is AWESOME, but the groom is one of my oldest and dearest friends. When Tom and Nina got married in Westchester, NY they had all of their friends and family present for their very special day, which lasted into the early hours of the morning. It was a great party, with wonderful food, and drinks, music and lots and lots of dancing.
From Melinda at the talented Milton Gil Photographers, here are some of the highlights from Nina and Tom’s summer wedding in Westchester, and of course, some commentary from the bride.
From the bride… I think I started planning the wedding about 5 minutes after Tom proposed. I can’t help it, I’m Type A. Of course my mom pulled out a stack of venue ads almost on cue, so that apple didn’t fall far. My parents offered us a destination wedding- take family and close friends to an island somewhere and make a vacation out of it, but Tom and I knew we wanted the big celebration with ALL the people who are important to us… and so 16 months of planning, organizing, appointments, and projects began.
From the bride… I was nervous the morning of the wedding- not about getting married but that something would go wrong after what seemed like endless planning. Ok, so I have a tendency to worry a little more than necessary. Once I was in my dress and ready though, all of the nerves kind of melted away and I just found myself enjoying every moment. I had this amazing feeling of genuine happiness all day long.
From the bride… It’s hard to choose a favorite part of the day, because over all it was a dream come true, as corny as that sounds. If I had to pick, taking pictures with Tom after the ceremony would be it. That was pretty much the only time all day it was just the two of us. Spending that time together before the reception and letting it sink in that we were MARRIED was pretty wonderful.
