David proposed to Amanda on vacation in Jamaica just before the new year started. From the moment they started planning their wedding, the couple knew the direction they wanted to take their interfaith wedding. David is Jewish and Amanda is not, but it was important to both of them to have a rabbi marry them in an effort to honor David&#8217;s heritage. Rabbi Ian Adler did an amazing job of making sure the non-Jewish side of the family understood every single word of Hebrew and every tradition during the ceremony. <\/p>\n<p>Amanda crafted a sparkly and shiny style for her wedding. Crystals adorned anything and everything that would or wouldn\u2019t stand still. Working for an online company and having wholesale access to these materials, this DIY bride sourced products from all over including custom-made linens direct from China.  Amanda planned every large and small detail down to the color of the scatter crystals on the tables and enlisted the help of friends and family to string together all the crystal strands that hung on the centerpieces.  Even the chuppah was complete with hanging crystals. The bride and groom decided decorate the ceremony in all white flowers to contrast the dark fall colors of the reception. <\/p>\n<p>After the ceremony the guests entered a room dripping in crystals and candle light.  After the grand entrance, everyone was treated to a lavish 5 course meal and a late night reception filled with fun surprises all evening.  The bride had organized a special Halloween themed candy buffet, complete with caramel apples, a photo booth, and an ice luge. The biggest surprise of the night was when the bride changed into her reception dress and serenaded her new husband to \u201cAt Last\u201d by Etta James. The VJ (Video DJ) was amazing and kept the dance floor packed all night as he worked his way through the decades with music and music videos into the wee hours of the morning.  <\/p>\n<p>Mazel tov,
