for a long time I was a grey's anatomy faithful watcher.I'm never going to be a nurse or doctor in this life...so getting to watch the dramaof what seemingly goes on in a hospital was fun to watch.*enter in today's couple*meet the real mcdreamy and meredith grey. ;)nah, I'm just kidding...well, sort-of. they are cooler than any mcdreamy or grey. ;)but in real-life, they are a doctor and nurse...how cool is that?!they way that they juggle long weeks of 12 hour days,residencies and just flat out crazy hospital life ON TOP of planning a wedding amazed me.and what a beautiful wedding it was!the all saints catholic newman center is a simply gorgeous place to host your wedding.vaulted ceilings with natural acousitcs that allowed music to be heard anywhere in the church...the ceilings reached so high all the way to incredible large windows at the top that streamed in gorgeous natural light.polished marble floors so shine-y it looks like a mirror!it was a beautiful place for christopher + marie to promise to love each other for the rest of their lives.after the ceremony, the family and friends in attendance were invited out to marie's uncles manor.let's pause on that for a second.her uncle owns a manor.when I first heard that I immediately thought of downton abbey...and the lord and lady of the manor.nardini manor did not disappoint!lush green hedges lined the property as you pulled up through a huge iron gate.white columns with lion statues framed the beautiful white manor.the road then wound around to the back of the property...as you drove, the green of an english garden maze caught your eyes.inside one of THE largest white tents I have seen, housed a perfect backyard picnic reception for christopher + marie.lawn games could be played under the large tree's or you could walk and listen to fountains pausing under the shade of the gazebo.it was beautiful and such a joy to get to photograph christopher + marie's family and friends celebrating their love!thank you for having us, christopher + marie - SO many congratulations to you both!
