   Sarah Studeny & Jordan Blask
   ...
   Jordan Blask and Sarah Studeny's first encounter was not the typical kickoff to a fairytale romance.
   ...
   "I had to help Jordan with his work.
   ...
   During the first semester of their senior year, Jordan and Sarah became a couple.
   ...
   After five years of dating and a little bit of admitted prodding on Sarah's part, Jordan finally asked her to marry him on December 10, 2005, in their Manhattan apartment.
   ...
   The unique diamond ring with pear-shaped baguettes that Jordan presented to Sarah set the tone for their family-oriented wedding.
   ...
   August 6 soon arrived, and Sarah and Jordan spent the day getting ready- admittedly in different ways.
   ...
   Meanwhile, Jordan and his groomsmen were busy doing other things. "We took advantage of the gentlemen's-club aspect of the club. There were no women around. We had lunch catered by the club, and then there's a fitness area where we did our manly stuff," he laughs.
   ...
   Sarah and Jordan managed to add their own personal twists to their otherwise quite traditional wedding.
   ...
   The bridesmaids wore chocolate-brown dresses by BCBG, and Jordan wore a classic tuxedo custom-made by Hickey Freeman on Fifth Avenue. The ceremony itself was fairly traditional, with a familial twist. Jordan and Sarah each wrote their own ketubah, which Sarah's mother did the calligraphy for and which the rabbi incorporated into their vows.
   ...
   Their kiddush cup was used for Jordan's parent's nuptials as well as his great grandparents'. The bride and groom continued with the Beatles theme and walked back up the aisle to "All You Need Is Love."
   
   After the ceremony, the 150 guests("100 came from New York," Sarah jokes) were treated to a cocktail hour in a large stone patio room that featured a huge fountain and masses of flowers and candles. A jazz trio played as guests sipped signature cocktails handpicked by Jordan and Sarah.
   ...
   Jordan and Sarah danced to "For Once in My Life," which fit their music requirements perfectly-they didn't want anything slow, and it had to be under three minutes.
   ...
   Dinner was catered by the club, and Jordan played a big role in the decision-making.
   ...
   The only hitch in Jordan and Sarah's special day came in the form of wardrobe malfunctions for each of them.
   ...
   Jordan had a similar problem with his tuxedo. "Up the aisle, as we cleared the ceremony door, the button fell off," he remembers.
   
   A week after their wedding, the newly minted Mr. and Mrs. Blask flew to Italy, where they honeymooned for nine days in Positano and Capri.
   ...
   I actually felt like I spent the whole night with Jordan.
