Flying by the Seat of Our Pants

In October 2009, this black girl from Detroit will be marrying the love of her life, a Jewish boy from Philadelphia. Our boy and girl met in their first year of law school and quickly became best friends. They were almost inseperable and the girl started to have more-than-friends feelings for the boy but he never got the hints (many, many hints). Finally, after a drunken night in April 2007, the girl got up her courage and did what all drunk girls do when they like a boy . . . she sent him a text message. After she got over being mortified that she sent the equivalent of an "I <3 u" to one of her best friends, boy and girl started dating and knew almost immediately that they were meant to spend the rest of their lives together and got engaged in December 2007.

But how do you have a non-denominational wedding while respecting aspects of both Judiasm and Christianity? Combining the 2 cultures and religions is a challenge, mostly because we want to keep everyone happy (or content, lets go with content). Not everything will be perfect but it is guaranteed to be fun because we are crazy about each other and that is all that matters.
