We admit it: We\u2019ve got a soft spot for love stories that begin, \u201cWe met when we were 16 years old, at the mall.\u201d Especially when they involve years of long-distance, on-again-off-again dating that culminates, finally, with the realization that you can\u2019t and won\u2019t live without your true love by your side. Such is the nature of Elly and Ryan\u2019s relationship, sealed with heartfelt vows in a ceremony inside\u00a0 Hotel ZaZa\u2019s<\/a> Phantom Ballroom that combined Persian and traditional Western rites and rituals. Following the ceremony, guests gathered in the ballroom\u2019s foyer area where they enjoyed more than 10 different types of passed hors d\u2019oeuvre while Hotel ZaZa\u2019s expert staff, along with design pros from florist and decorator Plants N\u2019 Petals<\/a>, transformed the ceremony space for the reception. \u201cEach of the 13 nooks in the Phantom ballroom was used differently,\u201d bride Elly explains. \u201cThe center nook held the Persian sofreh while other nooks contained bars, couches and seats with cocktail tables, guest dinner tables, the six-piece band, and the two DJ’s.\u201d Centerpieces of roses, peonies, hydrangeas and crystal candelabras topped the tables, where guests convened to rest and refuel when not dancing the night away. \u201cOur wedding went even better than I could have imagined,\u201d Elly says. \u201cWe had such a wonderful time!\u201d And we\u2019ve had a wonderful time sharing your day with you and Ryan. Thanks so much to John Ly Photography for the pretty pix\u2014and congratulations to the lovely couple.<\/p>\n
