A method facilitates the assembly of a gas turbine engine. The method of assembly comprises providing a turbine nozzle including an inner band, an outer band, and at least one vane extending between the inner and outer bands, coupling the turbine nozzle within the gas turbine engine, such that the turbine nozzle is downstream from a combustor, and coupling the turbine nozzle to the combustor using at least a first annular ring, wherein the first annular ring substantially seals a gap defined between the turbine nozzle and the combustor.
