The lovely Laura of {Laura Negri Photography} sent us this beautiful classic Atlanta wedding. The two were married in a beautifully decorated ceremony site at the {Grand Hyatt Atlanta}. The floral arrangements were created by the talented Arrangements by Catherine Walther. I’ve got to say, I love Emily’s choice in bridesmaid’s dresses from {Priscilla of Boston}. These lovely satin chocolate brown dresses are fab and something I would love to wear as a bridesmaid. Emily looked stunning in her {Melissa Sweet} bridal gown. Of course what is even more fab would be the way Neil proposed to Emily. Sex and the City fans read on….
How did the two of you meet? Tell us your story: We met at an event on Christmas Eve of 2005. Although our parents had known each other since elementary school. I guess it was meant to be!
Describe the proposal: We went for a sushi dinner and then back to Neil’s house where the master bathroom was flooded with candles and rose pedals. He then led me to the custom closet he had built for me! Neil got down on one knee (in my new, exquisite closet) and asked me to marry him! It was really ironic because {Sex and the City}, the movie, came out right after we got engaged. As I watched Big propose to Carrie that same way, I was overcome with the emotion I had felt on my engagement night.
What attracted me to my husband was: His caring nature, friendly, out-going, laid back personality and warm eyes. He is also really funny!
Why do you love your husband? He values me and makes me feel like I am the only one in a room crowded with people.
Tell us about finding your wedding dress: I knew exactly the style of wedding dress I wanted. It took me six different times of dress hunting but as soon as I walked into Priscilla of Boston, I saw it on the mannequin. I got goose bumps and immediately knew it was the one.
Were there any special family traditions you included in the wedding? Yes, we actually had many. We used my grandmother’s, of blessed memory, Kiddush cup and table clothe to cover the Chuppah and Neil’s grandparents Kiddush cup from Israel. I used my mother’s wedding dress as décor along with my parent’s preserved wedding cake. I also used a piece of my mom’s wedding dress as a covering for the Challah. Lastly, I got married in a ring my dad made for my mom when they got married.
More to come from Emily + Neil…
