It was a warm Saturday afternoon in the fall of 2003 and the smell of beer and grilled hot dogs wafted through the air the University of Maryland’s football tailgating season. Emily’s good friend, Michelle, had invited her to pre-game with Eric and his friends. It was then that the two were first introduced. A few weeks later, replica cartier love necklace Emily and Eric found themselves sitting next to each other at the Midnight Madness basketball game. From there, it was a slam dunk.
Emily and Eric combined many special touches on their wedding day. Eric is Jewish and Emily is Catholic, so the couple was married in an interfaith ceremony integrating both religions by having a Jewish cantor and a priest. They included several traditional elements from both religions in the ceremony. Emily and Eric’s program clearly explained the different rituals to guests (chuppah, kiddush cups, ketubah, breaking of the glass, sign of peace, unity candle, etc). They mixed some cultural elements into the reception, too, drawing from Jewish and Italian backgrounds. The newlyweds and their guests danced the festive Hora and chair lift and also a slow-to-quick speed Tarantella. To honor their current lives, the bride and groom ordered cookies from a Baltimore bakery to serve a combination of both Italian and cartier love necklace replica Jewish cookies. Also, Emily cleverly made up specialty signs for the cookie display and bar using Hebrew and Italian sayings like “Salute!” and “L’chaim!” Fun! Cheers!
