rachel's getting married

My 37-year old nephew, Adam, is getting married. 

It took Adam a while but he finally found his perfect match in Rachel. Like him, she's athletic, health-conscious, independent, fun, smart and gorgeous. They seem the perfect couple.

The shower is at aTribeca bakery and cafe called Maman. I arrive at the same time Rachel does, and already the small restaurant is filled with friends and family. The bride-to-be is radiant.




My sister Valerie, and Rachel's look-alike-mom Debra, are hosting.



The long tables are set with style. 



The passed appetizers are outstanding (especially the fig/goat cheese phyllo-baked tart and the mini croque monsieurs). But it's of course the people (and not the decor, flowers, and food) that make the event. 

Among the guests are Jill, Jessica and Rita.



Rachel's sister Sophia.



Amanda with Valerie.



Carolyn and Wendy.



Rachel with Mark (the only male until the family men arrive).



Valerie and the photographer.




Lots of beautiful people I don't know but who are close friends of Rachel and her mom.









The many moving speeches captivate the room, especially the bride-to-be.




Toward the end of the night, Adam, his dad, and Rachel's father arrive, and I'm able to get a group shot.




It's a great night, for an amazing woman, who is about to become a Mrs. to an incredible man.
