For Max, it was love at first sight, but Rachel remained oblivious for the better part of a year. Eventually, after acting in two plays, taking two classes, and becoming good friends, he got up the gumption to kiss her. The rest, as they say, is history.<\/p>\n<p>When happy couple first got engaged, a planning guide only reinforced their \u201cspecial\u201d connection. The book encouraged them to choose three words to represent their future relationship. And, while they may have written their words separately, they both hoped for a \u201cplayful,\u201d \u201cquirky,\u201d and unapologetically \u201cgeeky\u201d marriage.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to their love of all things geeky, Rachel and Max share an abiding respect for one another\u2019s faiths, so they grounded their wedding plans in Jewish and Lutheran touchstones they had always known and loved. Rachel\u2019s mother spent months making a chuppah out of her great-grandmother\u2019s tablecloth and constructing a freestanding, yet light, frame that their friends could carry down the aisle. Every part of the ceremony, from the officiating team to the interfaith ketubah reflected their dedication to one another.<\/p>\n<p>Mazel tov, Rachel and Max!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"
