The Ceremony
Amy wanted the event to be traditional, yet modern and unique. Because Amy is Jewish, the couple agreed to have a rabbi officiate the wedding and to incorporate certain traditional elements, such as the breaking of the glass. They married beneath a huppah, a canopy that Amy and her father handcrafted using white pots filled with ivy, bamboo stalks as posts, and a luxurious, fringed green shawl. The music showed Amy's eclectic side: the processional was an instrumental from West Side Story, and the recessional, an instrumental version of Madonna's Like a Virgin.
