Every now and then people
ask me what my favorite wedding was. I’m smart enough not to answer that one,
LOL. (If I officiated your wedding, you know it was yours!) Of course, most
memorable is a very different issue, because some circumstances are different
than others.
Roshni and Kelly were
originally going to have a small wedding ceremony in April. With the situation
as fluid as it is, they decided to move things up. They called me Saturday to
ask if I could officiate their wedding on Sunday.
I first texted back to
verify that they would be following CDC guidelines and the rules the Governor
put in place of limiting social gatherings to 10 people. They were doing even
better; there would be no more than six people there, including me and a
photographer.
When I spoke with them
Saturday, Kelly joked that we should find an open mosque, because a rabbi
marrying a Hindu and a Christian in a mosque would mean we had our bases
completely covered.
Luckily, the photographer
they found (pictured below), also on Saturday, Urooj of Urooj Photography, is not only
extremely talented, but a Muslim!
So, yes, on Sunday, in the
shadow of COVID-19, a Jew, a Christian, a Hindu and a Muslim did NOT walk into
a bar, nor could they because all bars are closed. Instead, they went to Adriatica Village and the
Christian and the Hindu walked out of there married!
