A note from The Wedding Yentas: This is my sister-in-law’s wedding in which I was the Maid of Honor, my husband a groomsman, and my daughter a flower girl. It’s an honor to publish her wedding not only because it was beautiful, but because it was a special family occasion! And yes, I know I was technically a matron of honor, but can we just all agree that “matron” sounds too frumpy and unfun? So happy to share this wedding with my fellow Yentas!<\/em><\/p>\n

Nothing is more important to both Alison and Michael than loved ones, laughter, music, and good food. When planning their wedding day, they were sure to make those four passions take the spotlight. By using a regal purple as the main color (Alison\u2019s favorite color and Michael\u2019s college color, go Northwestern Cats!) and their take on a simple yet elegant aesthetic, they were able to make the day shine with the help of their loving family and friends, a rocking band, incredible food, and inevitable laughter. <\/p>\n

Since both bride and groom are professional performers (as are many of their family and friends), the band played while various members of the party would sing their hearts out, including a special performance by the groom in which he surprised his wife by singing a song just for her (\u201cGrow Old With Me\u201d by Jason Robert Brown). The ceremony itself was a reform ceremony in which Michael drank most of the wine, Alison and Michael tearfully and giddily exchanged vows, and Michael crushed the glass to roaring sounds of \u201cMazel Tov.\u201d It was a beautiful day, full of love and joy, which neither of them will ever forget!<\/p>\n

Mazel tov, Alison and Michael!<\/p>\n
