Liuva and Daniel of Hoboken were married on August 1, 2009 in Clifton, New Jersey. They quickly became one of my favorite couples because, like my wife and I, Liuva is Latino while Daniel is from the old country (he's Swiss) Now I'm not Swiss, I'm of German decent, but like Daniel, I speak German and like Liuva, my wife speaks Spanish...
Ok, enough of that nonsense... onto this couple's amazing day.
The ceremony at St. Paul Church was absolutely breathtaking. We got a fantastic shot from the balcony along with my angle from the front of the church.
Daniel anxiously waited for Liuva to walk down the aisle. He prides himself of being cool, calm, and collected... and he is, but he'll admit, he was getting nervous waiting for Liuva! And when the door opened, and she started walking down the aisle towards us, I believe a saw Daniel's knees knock a little. But he kept his composure and looked dashing.
Now, I don't say things unless I mean them in these blogs - and this is for sure, their reception was the BEST I've been to so far. This couple put on a great night for friends and family.
Because the gathering was at least half Latino, you knew there was going to be a party with lots of dancing (I can say this because, as previously stated, I'm married to a Latin woman!) But I can't slight the Europeans in the house that night, they were having lots of fun too!
Liuva and Daniel also surprised everyone with special dance performances. And then Liuva surprised Daniel with a special cake made to look like the Swiss Alps!
By the time the final two songs were played (one being a fave of Daniels "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns N Roses) no one was ready to leave. But alas, all good parties must come to an end. Or do they? I think Liuva and Daniel's will last forever.
