Though they have known each other for many years, Kegham Jarjokian and
Jacqueline Mossessian didn’t go on their first date until Sept. 9,
2006.
Kegham, 33, who works for the New York City police department, and
Jacqueline, a 26-year-old college admissions counselor, both live in
Whitestone, Queens.
In June 2007, they took a vacation to Miami where, while strolling
along the sands in the South Beach area, Kegham popped the question.
"It was her first time in Miami," Kegham explained, "and I just
thought it would be the best place to have the proposal."
Three priests presided over the Armenian Christian Orthodox ceremony,
which was held at St. Sarkis Armenian Apostolic Church in
Douglaston. The wedding party featured eight bridesmaids who wore Ann
Taylor Celebrations dresses in pacific blue, and eight groomsmen.
Jacqueline wore an ivory strapless dress with intricate beading,
designed by Allure Bridals, and carried calla lilies with pink roses
and hydrangea.
The newlyweds left the church in an antique Rolls-Royce while wedding
guests threw pink rose petals after them.
Tables at the reception featured candles and floor-length ivory
tablecloths.
Instead of extensive party favors, guests received a small box of
chocolates with a scroll explaining that, in lieu of traditional
gifts, the bride and groom had made donations to cancer, diabetes and
heart charities.
A four-piece Armenian band and deejay entertained the 170 wedding
guests, and the couple shared their first dance to Edwin McCain’s "I
Could Not Ask for More."
Their four-tiered chocolate mousse cake featured a custom cake
topper. "It’s 3-D images of our faces on bobble heads," Kegham
laughed. "And her bobble head is pulling mine by the collar at the top
of the cake."
A limo escorted the couple to the airport for their 10-day honeymoon
in Maui.
