Ari and Vanessa went to neighboring high schools and attended summer school together in 1997. But that was it. Just summer school. Thirteen years later, they reunited at a bar where Ari went to escape Super Bowl parties he wasn&#8217;t interested in attending, and Vanessa was there for a birthday party.  They recognized each other, exchanged numbers, and it all began&#8230; at a bar.  <\/p>\n<p>An interesting and sweet detail from their wedding: Each close family unit received a square to design that would be quilted into a canopy on their chuppah. What a lovely way to include the union of two families! <\/p>\n<p>Mazel tov, Vanessa and Ari!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter\"
