| Jessica and Nicholas Liu of Queens, New York |
| “Happy Valentines Day! I can’t think of a more romantic day for your wedding than this, the one day of the year reserved for lovers. Your letter said that because this is the place that Nicholas proposed to you, the Empire State Building stands tall at the start of your life long journey together. As you already know, the view from the top stretches far beyond what they eye can see, enticing the soul to soar and to dream beyond any limitation. Growing up just a few blocks away from one other, you said that it is as if you have found small town romance in the big city. I myself would like to believe that there is one special person who is meant to be perfect for each of us. That they are out there growing and becoming, so that we meet them, they know with merely a glance, the deepest recesses of our hearts. Like the first time you were planning to come here but were thwarted by a snow storm… I wonder if you passed one another in the street as children, never knowing that you had just glimpsed your future. There was a very famous movie called “An Affair to Remember” that began the tradition of getting married at the top of the Empire State building on Valentines Day. It called this place “the nearest thing to Heaven we have in New York“. I think today we are happy to take second place to the feeling you have in your hearts and have found in one another’s arms.” |
