{Hoboken Winter Wedding} K & R: the new mr. & mrs.!


Today, January 15, is our official third wedding anniversary!  In honor of our anniversary, I'm sharing our wedding photos with you ALL week.  So far, we've covered getting ready moments & our wedding ceremony.  Now, on our third anniversary, let's celebrate us!!  Here are my favorite photos of the Bride & Groom, aka the new Mr. & Mrs., during our wedding photo session:



& last but not least, our favorite wedding photo:


Hoboken is not only our home but an important part of our love story.  We met in Hoboken, fell in love in Hoboken &, three years ago today, we got married in Hoboken.  It meant a lot to us that Hoboken be represented in our wedding photos.  With some careful planning, we had plenty of time to capture sweet newlywed moments with the backdrop of Hoboken.  

As we departed the church, twilight fell as we headed to the heart of Hoboken.  The vintage taxi stopped on a charming cobblestone street in downtown Hoboken & we tumbled out for pictures.  Then we went to the Waiting Room at the historic Hoboken Train Station, known for its gorgeous architecture & amazing stained glass ceiling.  I had accompanied many of my Brides & Grooms here on their wedding day & it was such a treat to make my own wedding day memories here!

Deep winter darkness had completely descended upon us as we left for our wedding reception at Hyatt on the Hudson in Jersey City.  We ended up making a last minute stop before the hotel.  For the first year or so of our relationship, R worked at (the now dearly departed) Lehman Brothers on the waterfront in Jersey City, just a few blocks from the hotel.  I'd spent more time than I care to admit on the little cobblestone street, admiring the downtown New York City skyline & (patiently or not so patiently) waiting for R to finish work.  It seemed like a fitting way to end our photo session- parked in our vintage Checker taxicab on that very same cobblestone street with its incredible Manhattan views.   

Now it's time to celebrate!  Coming tomorrow: eating, drinking & dancing at our wedding reception!

*Please note that I have used the term "Day-of Coordination" because it is the common term.  In reality, Eileen helped me with ALL the final preparations of wedding planning, starting about one month prior to the wedding & ending with the last dance of the reception.  We had such a blast at our wedding because we knew Eileen & her team were taking care of every last detail!

My Matching Maids


I have been talking about my matching bridesmaid dresses lately.  First, I mentioned the one thing I would change about our wedding is the matching bridesmaid dresses.  I wish I had let my ladies choose any dress in any shade of purple for an original look.  Just days later, I changed my mind & said I wish I had let my ladies choose any black dress & any purple shoe.  Did any of this leave you wondering what my matching bridesmaids looked like on our wedding day?!

I chose photos from our bridal party photo session at the Hoboken Train Station because the views of the bridesmaid dress are the best.  Plus you can admire the gorgeous train station architecture!  They just don't make buildings like they used to with the ornate, beautiful detailing but that is another story.

Without further ado, here is our gorgeous bridal party of our nearest & dearest, featuring our bridesmaids wearing a tea-length Cynthia Rowley dress in Smashing:


My handsome groom & my lovely ladies:


Last but not least, one of my favorites: me & my fabulous ladies plus the stunning stained glass ceiling:


I look back at the photos & I definitely see traditional bridesmaids in matching dresses.  I have seen similar looks before & I will probably see similar looks many times to come.  But honestly, my bridesmaids are my friends & my family.  They look happy & beautiful, as always. I am touched & honored they were a part of our wedding.  They could be wearing trash bags & I wouldn't care!

The reality is I can't change anything about our wedding.  It is said & done, a loving memory near & dear to my heart.  I'm perfectly okay with our wedding just as it was.  Our wedding was a dream come true!
