There was this moment, this sudden connection right before I went to knock on the hotel room door. Amidst the chatter, I could hear Hope's familiar laugh that up until then I'd only heard through the phone. She & Ezra were real, this day was real.

Hope is effervescent, a bold glass of freshly popped champagne. Ezra is warm & steady like a neat glass of whiskey, and when they shared their vows and celebrated in the cozy candlelit Brooklyn Winery I could swear I'd never felt so much love for two people in one room.

Just a glimpse into their classy & relaxed New York City wedding, and you'll understand.
