The Coder Nuptials
A long, long time ago, Nick Coder and Emily Graham were married at the Church of the Holy Trinity in Philadelphia. For weeks I’ve been promising to post the photos I took during this blessed event, and tonight I’m finally following through. But I must admit I did not take the photo above. None of my pictures accurately captured what the day was all about, unless the day was all about Sean Meakim engaging old German men in impromptu political debates. I stole this one off Emily’s Facebook page. (Apologies for any copyrights I’ve infringed.)
Here’s what else our camera captured…
First, let’s set the scene. Holy Trinity is a fancy and beautiful church/place to get hitched.
We arrived just as the guests of honor did. I only took this one photo, though. I couldn’t hack it as a member of the paparazzi elite.
The reception was held at the Union League, which according to its website, “is a shining jewel of history in a city defined by such treasure. Founded in 1862 as a patriotic society to support the policies of President Abraham Lincoln, The Union League has hosted U.S. presidents, heads of state, industrialists, entertainers and visiting dignitaries from around the globe.” Since we’re pro-North, we felt at home.
We were seated with up-and-comers such as Mike Baron and the Meakims. I cropped Mr. Baron’s date out of this photo—she was perfectly lovely, but since we’ve only exchanged two dozen words, I was unable to ascertain her policy on having strangers post her photos on random websites without permission. (Baron and the Meakims all signed waivers.)
Ferris, eyeing seconds.
And while this handshake looks civil enough, the debate was heated. I’d tell you what they were saying, but this is a family site. Plus I don’t know German.
Congrats to Nick & Emily. Hope your actual photographer did a better job than me.
