Our Persian bride Anna and Western Jewish groom Gregg were both doctors in New York City, only to meet and fall in love in medical school.  Traditional to their cultures and prior to their Park Hyatt Aviara Resort ceremony, the couple was to first meet in a private room with only family members.  The bride, wearing her veil, was to have a different type of âfirst lookâ with her soon-to-be husband, as the groom is to remove his brideâs veil to make sure it is the woman he is to marry.  Prior to the Persian-Jewish ceremony there was also a Katuba signing ceremony, a Jewish marriage contract detailing the husbandâs responsibility for and to his new wife. The Ketubah includes a declaration of commitment made by the bride and groom, followed by a joint affirmation of the couplesâ connection to God, Torah, and the Jewish people.
Anna and Gregg had a gorgeous Jewish wedding ceremony run by their Rabi in the garden area, followed by a relaxing cocktail reception.  After cocktails and the âgrand entranceâ to the reception, guests  immediately moved into a traditional Persian ceremony.  Following the two traditional ceremonies, the reception incorporated both cultures into the party, including Persian music, Jewish dancing and a bread and wine ceremony.  As tradition has it, Anna remained at Greggâs right side throughout the reception as the newlywedâs and their guests partied late into the night.
