It was a bright sunny day in the the Central Park Conservatory Gardens when Emily Riedman, 26, and Tim Walkiewicz, 31, said their "I dos."

They married in the North Terrace of the beautiful garden, which is one of Central Park's most extraordinary wedding ceremony venues.

Emily is an art teacher and Tim is an artist, so the creative couple had a loving, nontraditional ceremony, surrounded by dear friends and family. They felt that New York City and Central Park have played and important part in their relationship and they wanted to express their love in a place that uniquely represents the city they love.

One of their wedding readings included this Buddhist Wedding Prayer by Lama Thubten Yeshe. It captured the essence of the promises they made on their wedding day.

Today we promise to dedicate ourselves completely to each other, with body, speech, and mind.

In this life, in every situation, in wealth or poverty, in health or sickness, in happiness or difficulty, we will work to help each other perfectly.

The purpose of our relationship will be to attain enlightenment by perfecting our kindness and compassion toward all sentient beings.
