It was surreal and unforgettable.”It continued: “Big thanks to our guests who braved the cold, surrendered to the unexpected, and opened up their rooms to new friends. To@thesistersofcedarlakesfor some of the quickest pivots in wedding history. And to@jacobaziathe greatest unordained Rabbi ever (and the reason we met.)”“I honestly didn’t know if marriage was for me but it turned out it was,” he concluded. “Asking Jordana to marry me was the best decision I ever made.
