We’re happy to share some photos from our wedding on June 10 at the Queens County Farm Museum and are thankful to all our friends and family who could join us for this blessed event.
Signing the Ketubah, the traditional wedding contract.
We made our own Chuppah, the traditional wedding canopy, from cloth we purchased from a Lower East Side fabric store. We then had it sewn by my local Pakistani tailor and attached to poles from an Orthodox Jewish lumberyard. New York City! After asking our friends to sign the fabric, we also gave out small pieces of the Chuppah poles to our guests as gifts. Cantor Lisa B Segal officiated and sang.
First kiss as husband and wife.
If you know us, then you know what city folks we are, through and through. However, hosting our wedding at the Queens County Farm Museum, NY State’s oldest continually operated farm was a beautiful, historic way to celebrate our lives.
Although our wedding was down home at the farm, we NEVER forget our love for New York City. Ergo, our wedding cake toppers.
And if you couldn’t make the wedding in person, we hope this pictorial review can bring you there in spirit.
All our love,
The happily married couple, Mark Levy & Alisa Brot.

Mark, we went to a wedding this weekend and were telling people about the tour Matt gave for our friends, Josephine and Phil’s 40th anniversary. The culmination of the wonderous day was Matt taking us to your house where you welcomed us graciously and greeted us with champagne and good wishes. You are truly special people who deserve all of life’s blessings.
congrats. many years of wedded bliss.
love the cake toppers!
Dear Mark and Alisa,
Linda Barnes shared this link. Phil and I want to wish you both along with your families a lifetime of good health and good times. May you always enjoy the love and happiness of this day. We are the couple from Greenpoint ,Brooklyn that because of a gift from our dear friends were able to get a tour given by your son Matt . ( by the way of whom you should be proud) Matt took us along with our friends Linda and John to our homes that we were born in , the St. Cecila’s Church where we were married , drove all around the old neighborhood to some of our special places. We ate lunch at one of our favorite pizza spots. Then your son was gracious enough to take us to your home, where you greeted us with a champagne toast. That was such a beautiful touch . The entire experience was one we will never forget . We still constantly talk about our special day thanks to our friends and you and Matt who was a fantastic guide. Just wanted to share this with you both , we just celebrated our 45 th Anniversary. We wish you and Alisa many,many,years of great travel and special tours together throughout your life’s journey.
Congratulations to you both! This is just great! You look so happy and so terrific! I send you wishes for a wonderful life……….
