Valentina & Matt's Wedding - Boston Hyatt

Valentina & Matt had a wonderful wedding last weekend. When I arrived at Valentina's parent's house for the getting ready photos there didn't seem to be anything different going on, even though I knew that there would soon be mobs of women coming over for the Armenian tradition of the dressing of the bride. All of the furniture had been pushed to the sides of the living and dining rooms and the dining room table was full of food and a platter which contained chocolates and Valentina's shoes all nicely wrapped in tulle. As soon as Val came down from getting dressed the women started dancing and each got a turn to hold the shoes and dance them around the bride. It was quite moving for me since I have such a small family and I was eventually brought to tears (I'm a sap, I know) when I thought about all of these women who were taking part in such a special tradition.

There were also lots of other special moments like these throughout the day but another one of the best ones was the first dance. You can see by looking at Matt's face and all of his new family members how great it was!
