Each Monday, we choose the most interestingly Jewish announcement from that Sunday’s New York Times Weddings/Celebrations section. This week, Sarah Shekleton and Steven Blanck deserve applause for devising the coolest possible place for the celebration of their nuptials: The zoo! Specifically, they were married Saturday night, by a rabbi, at a facility at the Lincoln Park Zoo, in Chicago. But was it Noah’s Ark-themed? Either way, mazel tov to the happy couple!
