Elope in Central Park | The Ladies Pavilion Elopement of Nicola & Craig | New York City

English:
Elope in Central Park! This is the Ladies’ Pavilion Elopement of Nicola & Craig. These two actually met on an airplane! Can you believe that?! I love that story. The entire day was just amazing. The morning started with torrential rainfall. It came down hard. But the moment Craig arrived at the Ladies’ Pavilion the rain stopped all the sudden and the sun came out. Now we just had to wait for the bride and all was good. At least so we thought. Nicola was running a bit late and we had to laugh when we found out why. Nicola called us from the back of a NYPD car. And maybe I should end the story right here because this would be one amazing cliffhanger but I don’t want to be cruel. What happened was that the cab driver took Nicola to the wrong side of Central Park. Instead the West side, the taxi made it all the way to the East side of the park. She got out of the cab and with no money in hand for another taxi. So she made the decision to hail down a police car and the guys in blue didn’t hesitate. They gave her a private escort in a real NYPD car through the park and dropped her off directly in front of the Ladies’ Pavilion. How amazing is that? What a cool story to tell, right? New York’s boys in blue are just the best! As I said, the day was amazing from start to finish. Following Jackie’s ceremony we walked through the park for wedding photos and ended at Grand Central Station. Nicola & Craig, that was one heck of a day and I am so thankful that you shared it with me.

Heute möchte ich euch die Hochzeit von Nicola und Craig im Ladies’s Pavilion zeigen. Die Zwei haben sich während eines Fluges kennengelernt. Was für eine interessante Story, oder? Und auch der komplette Hochzeitstag selbst war sehr interessant. Am morgen ging es schon los mit strömenden Regen der aber plötzlich aufhörte als Craig beim Ladies’ Pavilion eintraf. Jetzt mussten wir nur noch auf Nicola warten und alles wäre gut gewesen. Hatten wir uns jedenfalls so gedacht. Nicola war etwas spät dran und als wir herausfanden warum mussten wir alle erst mal sehr lachen. Nicola rief uns von der Rückbank eines Polizeiautos an! Der Taxifahrer hatte sie leider zur falschen Seite des Central Parks gebracht und das hatte sie erst bemerkt als sie aus dem Taxi war. Das Problem: Sie hatte kein Geld mehr dabei. Und da gab es nur eine Lösung: Einen Polizeiwagen anhalten. Die zwei Beamten haben wohl auch schmunzeln müssen, haben die Nicola dann aber mit Blaulicht durch den Park gefahren und direkt am Ladies’ Pavilion abgesetzt. Was für eine tolle Geschichte, oder? Nach Jackie’s Trauung sind wir dann noch etwas durch den Central Park gewandert und endeten den Tag dann in der Grand Central Station. Nicola & Craig, das war ein amüsanter Tag mit euch und ich bin dankbar, dass ich dabei sein durfte!

Happy Valentine’s Day my wife, my rock, and the heart of our family. 💕

I still love her 85 times to the moon and back. She’s the calm when things get chaotic, the one who sees the good in every situation, and the glue that holds us all together. Her laugh can brighten any day, and her support is the kind of magic you don’t take for granted.

I love our trips to the Baltic Sea, our Disney adventures, and the simple, everyday moments that make life with her so special. She’s my business partner, the love of my life, and my best friend - and I’m endlessly grateful for her, for us, and for the life we’ve built together.

This October, we’ll celebrate 20 years of marriage, and I swear I love her more with every passing year. ❤️

And, fun fact: our daughter took this photo. The talent clearly runs in the family. 😉📸
