The Ceremony

Lisa and Chris exchanged vows in the courtyard behind the Mount Vernon Club, just across the street from their reception site. “The courtyard had a very urban feel -- it is surrounded by buildings -- but was also very intimate and charming,” Lisa says. The couple included some Jewish traditions, like the Seven Blessings and breaking the glass, and also selected readings from E. E. Cummings and Czeslaw Milosz for their ceremony.
