I was pretty excited when Noor and Zach told me about their wedding location, the Mass Audubon Habitat in Belmont, MA. I whined all day on Saturday when I realized that RAIN was forecast for the entire wedding day. We all breathed a sigh of relief when the sun came out mid-morning. It was a beautiful day.

 

Noor and Zach’s ceremony was particularly meaningful. They had their close family bring gifts to the alter that represented significant places in their relationship including a Sri Lankan bracelet, a Macintosh apple, and water from Puget Sound. They also had a time of reflection in the Quaker tradition where guests were given the opportunity to offer blessings to the couple. Everyone in the room was wiping away tears, including me.

 

Special thanks to Bow Street Flowers for the stunning floral arrangements! Gorgeous!
