C and M are indeed Canadian, but they love New York (and each other). On their previous trip to New York, they got engaged, so it seemed fitting to come back and do a small Central Park wedding. C's sister and brother-in-law completed the package--they served as witnesses, photographer and videographer.
On the day of the wedding, the clouds cleared and the rain (finally!) stopped for a while. We five walked into the park, to a small clearing the couple had found, right above the Delacorte Theater. There, as you might guess, I married them up good. The ceremony focused on love, friendship and commitment. I wish you all could have seen M's face as he gazed at his beautiful bride. If only I could bottle that!
It was a perfect morning wedding in the park.
Did you know that you do not need to be a New Yorker to get married here? It's pretty straightforward--check here for a few details. There is a 24 hour waiting period before you can be married, and the City Clerk is closed on weekends and holidays, so you do need to plan ahead a bit, but really, it is quite simple to do. Why not get married on the Brooklyn Bridge? Or on the Promenade in Brooklyn Heights? I also have a few secret locations around town. If you want to say your wedding vows in a kayak, Reverend Shari is your go-to girl.
