This was a grand Jewish wedding, built on crystal and scale. The morning started quietly, with Erica getting ready and her bridesmaids gathered around her in emerald. Then came portraits on the marble staircase and across the courtyard of The Rockleigh.

They married under a chuppah of white flowers and hanging crystal that seemed to fill the whole room. Then the ballroom opened for dinner, beneath chandeliers and tall arrangements of pink and red. The first dance began in a low cloud across the floor, and from there the entertainment never really stopped.
