Superfun - Malinda & John
September 25, 2008
I'll start this blog post off by saying that when I first met John, I thought we were related...Turns out we share the same heritage, with both our famlies deriving from the Middle East. On the same line, I met Malinda and saw the remarkable resemblance to Katherine Heigl...Malinda's much prettier though.
Okay, now onto their amazing day! The ladies sipped pink champagne on the morning of Sunday June 22, 2008. They were dolled up by two of my own preferred vendors - hair designer Roseanna Amador of CosmoNY and makeup artist extraordinaire Sally Duvall. One would have thought that Mali picked her bridesmaids based solely on looks - each one, more gorgeous than the next...but nothing compares to the classic style and look of the bride.
We headed over to St. Robert's Bellarmine in Bayside, Queens for their angelic ceremony. The impeccable sound of Emily Ondracek's Hire Conservatory Alumni made me stop in my tracks and really listen - it was what I believe Heaven would be like. Even Adam from Pennylane Productions commented on how amazing the quartet was - and he knows music!
I'm sure Angelica Glass and Adam are tired of seeing my face, but it's always great to work with fantastic vendors - the day runs smoothly, and you know the end result will be perfect. After the I Do's we headed to the Old Westbury Gardens beating the rain predicted for days, but not before the sun came out as they left the church!
The reception was held at Carlyle on the Green, where the AMAZING music was played by George, and his team at International Sounds Entertainment - he played everything from French, Italian, and something near and dear to me - Arabic! Malinda is an absolute natural bellydancing, and really put a smile on my face.
Congrats to John & Malinda - wishing you both never-ending happiness.
