Shoshanna Lonstein Wedding at the Metropolitan Club

Who: fashion designer Shoshanna Lonstein and investment analyst Joshua Gruss

When: May 10, 2003

Where: The couple were united in matrimony at the Metropolitan Club in New York City.

The Ceremony: Illuminated by candlelight, the bride and groom stood beneath the shelter of an 18 ft. tall chuppah draped in pure white wisteria, dogwood, peonies and viburnum as they declared their love in a traditional Jewish ceremony witnessed by 200 guests, including "Spder-man" star Tobey Maguire. As she stated her vows, the bride gifted her beloved with both a gold and a platinum wedding band, while she received a diamond-studded eternity band along with an unadorned ring.

The Dress: The faint rustle of the bride's satin ballgown skirt designed by Reem Acra could be discerned as Shoshanna walked to the altar in a pair of Vera Wang platform shoes, her chapel-length veil, which was attached to a sleek chignon, trailing behind her. A form-fitting bodice embellished with intricate gold embroidery enhanced the bride's bronzed skin and highlighted the 30-carat diamond necklace which sparkled at her throat. A bouquet comprised of white roses, sweet pea and lilies of the valley completed the look.

In a touching gesture, the bride created her attendants white, empire-style dresses, which were paired with sandals from Holly Dunlap's boutique, Hollywould.

The groom looked dapper in a black tuxedo purchased from Ralph Lauren.

The Reception: Slices of a six-tier cake from Francine Bove Pastries, which was embellished with sugar butterflies encircling a garden of sugar grapes and flowers, topped a menu consisting of filet mignon and sea bass.
