Jina & Jonathan: A Cultural Wedding in West Chester, PA

Incorporating a unique blend of Korean, Catholic, and Jewish wedding customs into a ceremony that was nothing short of brilliant, Jina and Jon impressed their guests with a dramatic display of color and tradition. A Tudor-revival mansion became the backdrop for the festivities, where a reception tent was set up between the two covered terraces overlooking the estate's formal gardens. THE BRIDE Jina Rhee, 28, medical researcher THE GROOM Jonathan Kaufman, 34, director at a biotech company THE DATE September 24 To celebrate their four-year anniversary, Jon thought it would be nice to enjoy the beautiful day and take Jina on a stroll through the Morris Arboretum -- with a bottle of champagne, of course. To unsuspecting Jina, Jon seemed usually restless. He wanted to find a bench to sit on immediately, recalls Jina. He seemed so antsy that I half expected him to suggest we go on a five-mile sprint! It wasn't until five benches later that Jon finally found one fit for his proposal. Upon opening the small blue silk-covered box that Jon had pulled out of his pocket, Jina was amazed to find a sparkling solitaire diamond ring inside.
