Jodie and Greg
Jodie Snyder and Greg Morel ventured south from their home in New York City to Florida to tie the knot on April 27, 2013. Their venue, Lightner Museum, formerly a historic attraction, was a perfect fit for the fete, which celebrated the bride's Sunshine State roots and the groom's French lineage. The romantic garden wedding had touches of the South of France, Old World charm, and a bit of Dickens' "Great Expectations."
