This article details a couple's decision to forgo traditional wedding conventions and opt for a more personalized celebration at their favorite Sichuan restaurant, Café China, in Manhattan.
It’s often said that you don’t throw a wedding for yourself, you throw it for other people. Joel and I took issue with this—if we were going to get married, we wanted to have fun with it. Because we’re not religious, nor do we have any rigid family traditions , we were free to do our own thing. We did have two guidelines, however: We wanted it to be in Manhattan and we didn’t want it to bankrupt us. I’ve always felt like a city hall bride, which neatly took care of the ceremony.
The challenge was: How do we give this wedding a sense of ceremony without an actual ceremony? Searching for an alternative to exchanging vows, my mind flicked back to one of my favorite movies, When Harry Met Sally, and all those scenes of elderly couples sitting next to each other, telling their story.
