This Saturday I had plans to go visit friends via Metro North, at Grand Central. After scoring a cold Budweiser, I headed to the center information kiosk and clock – my usual meeting spot. To my delight I witnessed 4 separate bridal photo shoots in the span of 15 minutes. The blogger in me delighted in an impromptu story. I reached for my camera, looked to the star studded ceilings , and thanked my lucky stars.
So this is what I call Bride #1 – she’s who I first see in a wedding dress. She looked so beautiful and HAPPY ; many friends and attendants followed her every move. I love that the ladies got to pick out their own dresses, as long as they were black and sexy .
This is Bride #2 – she made a very brief appearance in the main hall before she disappeared with her family. I love the fall bouquet that the groom is carrying.
Bride and groom #3 were by far my favorite. She wore an amazingly beautiful dress…classic yet modern. I love the lace and it looked really great on her. She and her new hubby were the most relaxed and informal, spending much of the photo shoot kissing, giggling, and dancing. I bet the reception was a fun party.
Bride #4 and party were a large fun group. They were hootin and hollerin and appeared to really be having a great time. They posed for pictures for the longest time, and rightly so, the large party was a handsome group. Then the happy couple posed alone on the steps and above balcony.
It’s strange to be a voyeur into a couple’s special day, but Grand Central is not the most private place. One of the joys of living in such a big city is participating in its daily life. This was one of those days…they will surely forget the throngs of women cooing and flashbulbs igniting. But I will forever have my camera in tow, scanning the large commuting crowd, for a glimpse of a blushing bride in a blinding white dress.
Congratulations to all the newlyweds…if you happen to know any of these couples,please comment and give us their names.
That's so cool! I love the architecture and expanse of Grand Central, it would be lovely for pictures (especially the stairs), but I can't imagine wanting to deal with all of the people milling around or walking through the picture frame.
PS - the first bride looks like Niki Blonsky from Hairspray (and public fighting with Bianca from ANTM)
