Mrs. Michael Jordan – Part 2

Wedding day! We all got ready in Daphne’s suite. It was such a great day, we chatted, got our hair and makeup done and had champagne 🙂
 
Look who has his eye on the champers.
Peeking out the window to see the wedding preparations.

The bride even took time out of her busy day to help the littlest wedding party member get dressed.

All too soon it was time to head across the street and for Daphne to become Michael’s wife – tear.


My mom looked beautiful and walked Adam down the aisle.

Randy got ordained and married Daphne and Michael.  It was so sweet that Randy has known Daphne since she was a little girl and he was the one to marry them.  He did an amazing job and it was fun to walk down the aisle again to my handsome husband.

Their ceremony was on the roof of the Bryant Park Grill.  It was breathtaking to watch the ceremony surrounded by all of New York.
  
They wrote their own vows, which had me in tears.  I think I cried more than Daphne.
Adam was ENRAPTURED by the whole ceremony. He watched quietly, chewing his tie. I was so worried he would cry or fuss, but he was the perfect wedding guest and loved watching his Aunt Daf and Uncle Meej get married. 

YAY! Mr. & Mrs. Jordan
After the ceremony we had cocktail hour on the roof.  Adam had a sitter booked for later in the evening so this was his time to mingle and mingle he did.  Everyone wanted a piece of Adam and he got passed around like a hot potato.

After cocktails, Adam went to bed and it was downstairs for a yummy dinner.  The room was beautiful. The sun was just setting and there were candles and flowers everywhere and outside a wall of windows was New York. It was absolutely breathtaking.

First Dance 🙂

Then it was time for speeches.  MJ’s brother went first and his speech was awesome.  He had everyone laughing. It was the exact right mix of humor and poignancy. 
 I’m starting to get nervous here 🙂

I love this picture of Randy and me.
Then it was my turn. When I got married Daphne gave the most amazing speech so for months leading up to the wedding I was working hard on a speech that would be close to as good. But I got good advice from my friend to think back to our childhood and write it from the heart.  I made the bride cry so I consider my mission accomplished.

We all toasted to our toasts after.
Then it was time to relax and dance.

The photobooth props made it out onto the dance floor. 

Daphne surprised MJ with a Giants cake, already an amazing wife just three hours in.
A few photos to leave you with.  The bride and groom snuck away during cocktail hour and took some beautiful pictures in Bryant Park.

Have you ever seen a more beautiful bride…
