Love Story

The Public Garden is a really special place for us. James and I love it there. We used to go there a lot when we were in high school. That's why we took our wedding pictures there last year. On our anniversary, we stopped by the garden before dinner and saw this magical scene. Romeo* and Juliet, Boston's famous swans, were tending to their nest. It was beautiful to watch them. They've been a couple for over 10 years! I love the fact that swans do tend to mate for life. That's really special.

*Read some interesting facts about our swan couple here and here. Romeo has a not-so-secret secret :)

Happy One Year to us!

This guy made me smile. He was standing there like that for a while. He looked right at me when I approached him. I guess he was ready for his picture (just like these guys).

I really love our Public Garden. Do you have a favorite spot in your city?

All You Need is Love

Here are some of the amazing photos Ned took for us. I've gushed about Ned before and I'm so thankful that he was there to capture our wedding. He loves what he does. He always captures the true emotions of the day. I don't even know how he managed to get so many great moments because they happened so quickly. He's like a ninja! Above all, Ned is a wonderful person. He makes us feel comfortable and at ease. We can relax and be ourselves. He really took care of us and our wedding photos and we will always be extremely grateful for that. The photographer is a big part of the wedding day and I'm so happy that ours was Ned. (I highly recommend him if you are looking for a photographer!) I hope you enjoy these photos!

Although it rained for most of the day, there was just something so sweet about it. The sound of the rain was very soothing as I was getting ready in the morning. The weather became cooler and more comfortable. At the ceremony, I felt like we were in our own little world with the people we love; protected from the rain in an intimate church. The rain also kept the usual tourist crowds away as we were walking around the city to take pictures. I was told by many relatives that rain on your wedding day means good luck and I would have to agree. I couldn't have asked for a better celebration of our love. We had so much fun. We are very fortunate to have such great family and friends in our lives ♥

The rain gave us the perfect opportunity to use my fun MoMA umbrellas :)

We took pictures at the Public Garden, one of my favorite places in Boston. The heavy rain stopped while we were out there (how lucky is that?). We were able to get fun pictures with our umbrellas when it did drizzle for a little bit. I really love the pictures we have with the umbrellas. They are so cute! :)

How did my sister manage to jump so high in those heels? lol

I'm so happy that Ned took this photo! We saw a mother duck with eight of her ducklings in the garden...just like the statues of Make Way for Ducklings! That was a perfect Boston wedding moment for me :)

One of the many great photos Ned took of us walking around the city.

Entering the reception

Our first dance as husband and wife :)

Listening to the speeches and shedding a tear or two :*)

Happy Walk

I can finally share these pictures from James' birthday last month now that all the holiday posts are done. We took a lovely walk in the Public Garden that day before heading to dinner. The happiest part was when I spotted this little guy popping his head out of a hole in the tree. He was so cute! He just stared straight at me as I was taking his picture :) Hope you like these photos as much as I do!

Can you see him? James couldn't believe that I spotted him because he was so high up in the tree lol.

We love taking walks together and the Public Garden is one of our favorite spot ♥

(left) This guy was so cute and chubby; (right) Its been so warm lately that all the trees were starting to bud.

He found a peanut and was happily eating it.

I love the vibrant red color.

(left) Reminds me of a soft serve ice cream hehe; (right) More pretty berries

The spikey round things are so cool! Too bad I couldn't zoom any closer...they were so high up.

Another cute squirrel ready for a photo :)

Unexpected Smile

Took a walk at the Public Garden recently and saw this cute face smiling at me. It totally made my day! Happy Friday everyone!

Boston's Little Gem

The Public Garden is one of my favorite places in Boston. It's the first public botanical garden in the United States. How cool is that? I love strolling around and taking pictures of the lake, the flowers, the squirrels, the ducks, and the Swan Boats. It's such a charming place and I love it so much. The weather is going to be gorgeous this weekend so I can't wait to go and just sit and relax in this beautiful little garden. Happy Weekend everyone!
