On Inaguration Day in 2016 we went on our first "date" at the Women's March in DC. It started out as an 'ambigudate' (it wasn't clear it was a date when it started.) We had met originally a little over a year before at a reunion for a fellowship we'd participated in on different years. When Mia emailed the fellowship listserv asking for a place to stay in DC during the Women's March, (and advice on attending a protest march while observing the Jewish Sabbath,) Aaron asked if she wanted to attend the March together. It was a powerful day, and by the end it was clear that it had transformed into a date. Four years later, we're excited to commit to each other through marriage.

We wish we could have had a traditional in-person wedding, but given the pandemic, we opted to have a smaller wedding with a limited in-person presence. But we will be having a virtual component - so you can tune into our wedding in our new home base in South Florida. If you're a virtual guest - please feel free to tune in to any event - or any part of the event. And check out our 'cookbook' below - which we created to bring the experience of breaking bread with you virtually.

In the early days of our relationship - when we were still long distance dating, Aaron used to send Mia video shorts from ‘Cooking with Aaron,’ a fake TV show concept he’d concocted. Spurred by Mia’s offhand, feminism-inspired comment that she didn’t want to be with a man who didn’t cook, Aaron set out to demonstrate his cooking prowess. One of the most celebratory elements of the Jewish wedding ceremony is the meal - with its ceremonial elements, dancing and breaking bread together. When we decided to not to delay getting married until the uncertain end of the pandemic - we were saddened to give up a large celebration with its communal meal. We wanted to honor that part of the tradition by sharing some recipes and food from our relationship and our world together. In this book, ilustated by Mia, we’ve selected some recipes and foods from the four years since ‘Cooking with Aaron,’ that give you a taste of our world. We hope to break bread with you soon.
