After the beautiful posing for pictures, light rain forced the guests to spend the rest of the day inside where a botanical glass garden specially constructed for the ceremony was waiting for them.

The ceremony was very private as very little is known about the guest list. We knew that novelist Georgina Bloomberg attended, as well as, the band Coldplay who performed at the reception.
