Jeana and Lee were married at the Holy Cross Greek Orthodox church with a reception following at The Carnegie Museum’s music hall foyer, one of the most beautiful venues in the city.
Jeana’s Melissa Sweet was beautiful.
Greek Orthodox ceremonies are fascinating. Jeana and Lee’s koumbara or sponsor Jenna holds a very important roll in their marriage. She exchanges crowns, signifying virtue and holiness.
Led by the priest, circling the table 3 times is a symbol for eternity and their eternal bond in marriage.
It’s something new at every wedding. I went outside to take a few photographs of Jeana and Lee in the limo and they locked up the church and left, with my equipment bag and car keys. I’m sure the expression on my face was priceless. Luckily Barb usually drives separately and we always carry two complete sets of equipment, so she drove me to the reception and we retrieved my equipment bag later and the Sunday – a good excuse to do some shopping at the Galleria, across the street.
Parkhurst caters every event at The Museum – they always create beautiful cakes.
Greek weddings are always so much fun and greek dancing mesmerizing, their greek band Grecian Flames shared the evening with DJ’s Josh and Scott.
Jeana and Lee are so nice – we had a wonderful time with them both at their engagement session and on their wedding day. They spent their honeymoon in Italy and had an amazing trip.
