So they met at a party, what&#8217;s the big deal? It&#8217;s a sign that the rest of their lives would be one big party. Between Serene&#8217;s one-of-a-kind beauty and Mike&#8217;s sharp sense of humor, these two could open up their own show and take it on the road. And to top it off, they double-party every June 3 because it&#8217;s their birthday. Yes. Their. They even have the same birthday. B&#8217;shert? We think so!<\/p>\n<p>Despite their fun-loving nature, Mike and Serene appreciate family, tradition, and keeping loved ones close. Their wedding  chuppah was topped with a tallit from Mike&#8217;s great-grandfather. He also used his grandfather&#8217;s tallit during the ceremony.  They reserved a seat at the ceremony by placing a picture of Serene\u2019s beloved kitty, Pono, on a chair in the first row. Most pet owners will understand that Pono is their &#8220;child,&#8221; and it was as close as they could get to having Pono witness their nuptials! We&#8217;re sure Pono thinks the Santa Barbara wedding of Mike and Serene was the cat&#8217;s meow!<\/p>\n<p>Mazel tov, Serene and Mike!<\/p>\n<p>Venue &#8211; <a
