Walked into the funky and unassuming Ravel Hotel in Long Island City where they were getting ready (separately though! not to see each other until the ceremony) not quite sure what to expect.
Met Danielle first who was absolutely glowing. With a huge smile and a couple glances at her watch awaiting her parents arrival, she laced up her shoes and put on her cufflinks with such a calming energy, I knew it was going to be a gorgeous day.
Next I met Nicole as she put on her dress with help of her friends, I knew immediately that this group of friends were also considered family.
And rightly so. 10 years after they met, Nicole + Danielle declared their love in front of family and friends in the gorgeous Metropolitan Building...on September 11th, with sincerity that lit up the entire building while the beams of the twin towers lit the city skiies.
Thank you N + D for sharing your day with us.
Wishing you all the best all the years ahead.
