Sunrise, Sunset

A dusty blue accent color for the kippot, flowers and Bill Levkoff bridesmaid dresses was the natural choice because “Michael says it brings out the blue in my eyes,” the bride explains. The big day included many Jewish traditions: the couple signed their ketubah, the Jewish marriage certificate, before the ceremony, broke the glass before the kiss and became Mr. and Mrs. under a white birch chuppah that featured the bride’s father’s bar mitzvah tallit. “I’m very close with my dad, so it was nice to have something special from him above us during our wedding ceremony,” says Marcy. Both dads also played a spontaneous rendition of “Hava Nagila” on the harmonica during the ketubah signing.

The sit-down dinner of a duck confit risotto appetizer with an entree choice of a steakhouse filet of beef or Chilean sea bass concluded with passed desserts and a uniquely flavored, four-tier cake; half dulce de leche, half carrot cake, the groom’s favorite. A duo of signature cocktails were served: Marcy’s Mojito and Michael’s Manhattan. “Loving You Easy” by Zac Brown Band, the first dance song, was a no-brainer, as the couple had seen the country stars in concert together four times. What immediately followed was a round of the hora. The bride’s final verdict? “Our wedding was perfect,” she says, “the best combination of elegance and fun.”
