St.Patricks Cathedral Wedding New York City || Nicole + Scott

Take a little heat off me. Nicole and I are one year and one month apart. Her being younger, I always referred to her as Little Nicole. But truth is, I always looked up to my little cousin. She has always been fun, charming, and a glamorous girl that lights up every room she walks into. I mean, look at her today. She is completely stunning. She has been my shoulder to cry on, laugh with, and everything in between. You are the sister I have never had. Scott is always hyper-aware of other people's feelings and perspectives. He cares whether people are thinking, feeling, and the optics of what's going on. I know he does this trying to best approach to keep everybody happy while being sensitive to everybody in the picture. Don't you just love that about Scott? I mean, to me, that is just him. So, Scott, I know, I don't think you and Sophia probably heard your mom and I talking too much about things as we raised you, but we mostly talked in the background and then tried to present a united front. However, the phrase most often used by your mom was, let the kids spread their wings. Give them some space. And I think hopefully that we've done that for you and for Sophia, just allow you to grow. I don't think you could have grown any more. It's just wonderful. Nicole, I can see that your mom and your brothers and your dad instilled that in you as well, so I'm thankful to your family for having taught you the same things. And couldn't be more thrilled to now be able to call you my daughter. Life just would not be anything without having you by my side. Congratulations. I'm so happy that you have found your soulmate. You and Scott are amazing together, and I can only hope to find a love that you have found, because you guys are a match that's perfect for each other. Philip Scott Abakir, I take you, Nicole Antonetsino, to be my wife. I, Nicole Antonetsino, take you, Philip Scott Abakir, to be my husband. I promise to be faithful to you. In good times and in bad. In sickness and in health. I will love you and honor you. All the days of my life. Nicole, take this ring. As a sign of my love and fidelity. In the name of the Father. And of the Son. And of the Holy Spirit. Scott. Kiss the bride.
