Who knew standing in line at Einstein\u2019s Bagels would lead to a marriage?  With Michael being from Northern California, and Kelly from New Jersey, it&#8217;s hard to believe that two people from opposite sides of the country would have so much in common!  Mike proposed four years into their relationship with a beautiful customized ring featuring a family stone.  After a two-year engagement, their big day finally came, and it was a perfect weekend joining the East and West Coast families.<\/p>\n<p>Not only was Mike and Kelly\u2019s wedding a symbolic merging of the two geographical backgrounds, but with Mike\u2019s Jewish background, and Kelly being raised Roman Catholic, they knew they wanted to ensure both traditions were honored.  During the ceremony, the couple performed the lighting of the unity candle and the traditional breaking of the glass, and two close family members performed readings, one, a verse from the Bible, and the second, the traditional seven Jewish wedding blessings.  Mike and Kelly were married by her Uncle Ron, a Magistrate from Alaska. <\/p>\n<p>Mazel tov, Kelly and Mike!<\/p>\n<p>Venue- <a
