I went to a wedding recently. It was a beautiful wedding, and it was less strict than others I have been too. By this I mean it had a more relaxed atmosphere. The bride and groom were Jewish, so it was obviously at a Synagogue. Their names were Gregory Goloborodko and Elyssa Bookbinder. They are now the Goloborodko’s. Greg is Russian, in case you wanted to know. It was a small, intimate wedding. Maybe 100 people were there. This is a size I like, and one which I will probably be unable to have at my own, unless I don’t invite half of the family… The bridesmaids wore dark green dresses with a hint of blue and high heels (of course). The bride was beautiful.
I’m not going to talk about the ceremony itself because most of it was in Hebrew, and I didn’t understand it. However, a few parts stand out.
The first is that traditional wedding music was not played. The wedding party walked to the altar to “Accidentally in Love” by Counting Crows. It was cute and sweet.
The second is the Rabbi gave a shout out to my mom! Greg worked on my mom’s 2008 campaign, and that is the only reason he was in Cincinnati. He and Elyssa met in my basement. Apparently, it was acceptable to wear political shirts to the wedding, but no one did.
The reception was in the Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal in the Cincinnati History Museum. We spent an hour in the upper part of that museum waiting for the wedding party to appear. We didn’t see them until we were half-way done with dinner, around 7:30. We got to the Museum around 6.
By the way, I really love how now that I’m 18, the filter parents and adults have been using has suddenly disappeared. Apparently one becomes mature as soon as they turn 18… LOL
The bride and groom look really happy together, and I’m happy for them. I love weddings!
