Waiting for the bride Date: 08/12/2007 The wedding was at the groom's home temple just over the bridge into New Jersey. These are the bride's grandmother and aunt.
Wendy & Emma Date: 08/12/2007
The ketubah Date: 08/12/2007
Carved watermelon Date: 08/12/2007 The temple has its own in-house caterer. It's a long way from my wedding in the basement of the First Presbyterian church of Marquette, that's all I'll say.
Infused vodka bar Date: 08/12/2007 I don't think that even today the Presbyterians have infused vodka bars.
Gloria and Abby Date: 08/12/2007 The bride's younger sister. Don't be confused by all that food. These were just the appetizers.
From the french fry bar Date: 08/12/2007 Another appetizer station. Not to be confused with the Peking Duck station, the carved meat station, the smoked fish station, the sushi station, or, of course the vodka bar.
Chatting before dinner Date: 08/12/2007 The rabbi who did the service (from Emma and Russell's congregation on the upper west side) on the right and Wendy's cousin on the left--a neurologist, IIRC.
Proud grandmother Date: 08/12/2007 Muriel Meltzer
Wendy with Chicago friends Date: 08/12/2007 In this case Diane and Tom Geraghty, both law professors: Tom at Northwestern and Diane at Loyola. Parents of four daughters, every single one of whom is a lawyer or in law school-- four daughters (scroll down)
Bryn Mawr friends Date: 08/12/2007 I think the one on the left is a rabbi. They're planning their wedding for next fall.
More shtick Date: 08/12/2007
And still more Date: 08/12/2007 I noticed this guy was perspiring pretty heavily by the time he was done. Nice that Emma and Russell had a moment to sit down, though.
Dancing Date: 08/12/2007 Lots and lots and lots of dancing and merriment. The technical term, I gather, is "shtick."

Centerpiece Date: 08/12/2007 I'll spare a description of the meal, except to say that no expense was spared and no detail un-embellished.
Dessert Date: 08/12/2007 Okay, one picture from the deal. Gloria had warned me that wedding desserts often disappointed, since they couldn't include dairy products. But I have to say there was nothing disappointing on this plate.
