Nicole and Ryan’s wedding ceremony was a lot like life. And life can be a lot like a puzzle! It’s in our family we put those pieces together to create something new and beautiful! They had decided to have an intimate sunset wedding with immediate family at the exquisite Hamlet Golf and Country Club in Commack.

They wanted a unique and personalized one of a kind wedding. Their family values influenced many of the decisions for their special day including their venue choice as Nicole’s father lives nearby the Hamlet. Their was no bridal party except for their five daughters, “Just us and the girls!”, Nicole and Ryan emphasized enthusiastically! Also it was so very important they find just the right Unity Ceremony to provide their girls with an active central role in the wedding. Thus they created a beautiful wooden puzzle with Ryan and Nicole’s names on two heart pieces that fitted together in the center. Their heart was then enclosed by a circle made up of five individual pieces locking together with each of the girls names: Avery, Taylor, Alexa, Page and Olivia! It was a beautiful moment of confidence, cooperation and true unity as everyone found their piece and persevered to fit them together! Finally the newly married couple and this newly formed family were presented as one!
