| Eric
& Barbara met us via a web conference. They were planning their
Houston wedding to combine a traditional Jewish ceremony and a somewhat
non-traditional reception. Barbara’s hair was adorned by a pearl
necklace made by a friend who told them when Eric purchased it for
her “you can wear this on your wedding day”….and
she did. This, it turns out, was the 1st piece of jewelry Eric had
ever given her. Their vows…..which Barbara touched up in the
car on the way to Congregation Emmanuel, were brief and heartfelt
under the Groom’s family chuppa. After the breaking of the glass
all headed off to the Milford House where Chef Emile, a Bride’s
family friend, made a wonderful cajun meal of their favorites….red
beans and rice, jambalaya, shrimp etouffee and more. There was a truly
amazing moment when the Mother’s of both the Bride & Groom
stood on stage to sing “Sunrise, Sunset” from “Fiddler
on the roof”. Tears were in many an eye at that. For those night
owls there was a relaxed after party at their favorite bar McElroy’s
out on the patio. |
