The wedding was black tie optional, which called for a fancy dress. I made an appointment with a stylist downtown at Rent the Runway, an awesome website where you can rent a designer dress for a few nights for a fraction of the cost. The weekend before the wedding I headed downtown with Liz and Amy, who were my peanut gallery. I tried on about 10 dresses and finally ended up choosing one the stylist picked out for me, along with a beautiful pair of teardrop earrings.
The dress! With socks.

Saturday morning I made the trek to Jersey City with some other Fordham friends, to the Hyatt. From the Hyatt there was a charter bus that took everyone to the Church and back, and then to the reception and back.
Snowing. You can barely see the city skyline.

Gorgeous church.
The reception was at Maritime Parc, a great venue in Jersey with stunning skyline views. We had a cocktail hour, followed by a sit down dinner in a separate room.

That's a photobooth in the back right corner - so fun!

LOVED this space.
The band was also amazing - Vera Wang and Ivanka Trump had them at her wedding!

Such a beautiful wedding, can't wait to see the professional pictures!
