The Bride Tamara Katz, 30, museum educator The Groom Eric Golden, 30, high school math teacher The Date June 24 While the two were walking to the bus together one night after hanging out at a friend’s house, Tamara told Eric about her cousin’s comment. “She said my name? Really?” he asked. The two slowly changed the subject, skipped the bus stop entirely, and talked all the way back to Tamara’s house. When Eric dropped Tamara off that night he suggested that they go out some time. “We’ve been together ever since that night,” Tamara says. Five-and-a-half years later, the two exchanged vows underneath a handmade huppah at a loft in downtown Kansas City. Bright bold pops of green, pink, red, and orange gave the room a fun and celebratory vibe.
