Guests formed a circle around the couple during the ceremony in the spectacular Carnegie Hall.

The very talented mother of the bride outdid herself by painting the free-standing table numbers...

....gold pumpkins, and she even sewed the polka dot table runners!

The new couple breaks into the reception already dancing it up.

The couple opted for fun and colorful cupcakes instead of a traditional wedding cake.
