Julie and Michael’s Wedding at the Downtown Club

Michael stood in a small park across the street from Hotel Monaco in Old City Philadelphia, waiting for Julie to tap him on the shoulder, so he could see her for the first time on their wedding day. Julie stepped out of the hotel and crossed a busy street, stoping traffic, as a breeze played with her hair and touched her vail. Then the beautiful moment happened. Mike and Julie saw each other, held each other’s hands, hugged, kissed, and just could not look any happier. All the waiting, anticipation, and months of planning were worth it. We could see all the love in their eyes as Mike and Julie walked to Washington Square Park, holding hands and smiling. The way the looked at each other was so beautiful it lit up the street as they walked…The glass broke, the first kiss as husband and wife drew applause, and the guests danced the night away to the tunes of a big band. An unexpected display of fireworks right outside the windows of the Downtown Club served as an amazing backdrop for cake-cutting and a gorgeous conclusion of a beautiful day. But as grandiose as all that was, once again, the look Mike and Julie gave each other, full of love, happiness, and devotion, was the most beautiful thing in the room.
