We had the privledge of having two photographers for our wedding day. One of them was Tina from Fahrenheit NYC Photography. Tina was exceptional and she was exactly what we needed for our special day.
Here are some of the pictures:
So here's the story . During our time working in retail in the city my FI and I spent most of our summer time at Bryant Park. This is where we really got to know each other and how he learned that my favorite holiday is Christmas.
My FI got us tickets to see the 75th Anniversary showing of the "Christmas Spectacular" at Radio City. He told me that, as a Christmas gift, he had gotten me tickets to see a show but didn't tell her which one.
So as we walked back to the car, which happened to be strategically near Bryant Park. He told me "uhh Lets go into the park. I wanna go see the Tree" And I said ‘oh great we can go see the shops' - there are shops in the park during the winter season. So he said "sure ok we'll go see the shops".
At this point one of his friends had spotted us with the video camera that he had given her the day before and was hiding behind a bush so that I wouldn't see her.
He told me that he loved me. We kissed. At this point his friend came out from behind the trees and I saw her and knew what was going on.
He got on one knee. Pulled the ring out and asked me to marry him.
I said "Yes", in case you were wondering.
Sacred Heart Church
Sorry the picture was taken with my camera phone.
I will say that this was some of the best wedding food we have tasted. =o)
Choices of main course:
Fillet Mignon with barolo wine sauce with oven roasted vegetables
Chicken Mignon and Roasted garlic mashed potatoes
Black Sesame Glazed Salmon with oven roasted vegetables
This is a picture of the Salmon...it tasted as good as it looked. =o)
There are the center pieces (Keep in mind that the hydrangea will be darker blue):
We choose these because we wanted to have something in spanish and fun:
This is how we are thinking of wrapping them:

I was inspired by a fellow PW member Beatie with her Bouquet Charms... so I thought it would be nice to personalize the girls bouquets.
I splurged on a hanger cover and I love it!!!

I know some of the few ladies on PW have done these in the past...so I had to jump on the band wagon. I got them from Etsy seller buttercreambee.
