Chalene and Brian met online and had their first date in Madison Square Park on a beautiful New York City summer day.
The theme of their wedding was the Bird of Paradise flower, they gained inspiration from Chalene’s Caribbean roots.
There were many personal touches, from the special poem written by the officiant, the bride wearing the groom’s grandmother’s ring, the bride’s family crest on the seating chart and the joint Irish and Antiguan items given as wedding favors.
The most special touch for the bride and groom was the moment that they took to remember those who were unable to be there to celebrate, because heaven is so far away.
