Belinga and I attended the lovely nuptials of Caryn and Brett on Sunday in Washington, DC. It was our first Jewish wedding and we loved all the traditions that went into it, like the circling of the groom, the beautiful ketubah, the yichud (bride and groom alone time after the ceremony--we wish we had gotten some alone time on our wedding day!). You could tell how happy they were and of course it was no wedding without Caryn crying! Their rabbi made them write reasons why they loved each other and read them out loud--there wasn't a dry eye in the house!Then we moved on to cocktail hour which was delicious! Ahi tuna, lamb lollipops (which I'm not ashamed to admit I stalked the poor servers for), mini weiners, gazpacho shooters, corn pancake thingies and an Asian station with shu mai, dumplings and spring rolls. Dinner was fabulous with beef tenderloin, Chilean sea bass, twice baked potatoes and broccoli. Dessert was awesome--we had mini sundaes in shot glasses, key lime pies on a stick dipped in chocolate and a yummy wedding cake.
Their band had everyone dancing and Caryn was a sight to see during the Hora, she was screaming and laughing! We had a wonderful time and wish the happy new couple all the best. They will be honeymooning in Australia for three weeks, yes! three weeks! And though it's hard to realize, Caryn doesn't actually live here anymore, she's moved on up to NYC and she will be missed greatly! Thanks for a wonderful time!
