The dress code at this intimate wedding on Canada’s rugged Fogo Island was “black tie-ish,' which the couple hoped would encourage an elegant but low-key approach to dressing.
Fogo Island Inn has seven distinct seasons, and the weather is notoriously unpredictable. The week leading up to the wedding, the weather forecast said it would be extremely cold and rainy, with a chance of snow, and when everyone arrived on Thursday evening, it was as overcast and cold as the forecast had suggested. But as soon as Friday morning rolled around, the skies parted, and they had warm, sunny weather all weekend. “Lucky doesn’t even begin to describe how we felt,” Catherine says.
The next day, the ceremony took place under a chuppah that the Fogo Island Inn’s woodshop made for the couple. “As far as we know, it was the first chuppah on Fogo Island!” Catherine says. The chuppah’s design was inspired by the local building vernacular and fishing stages around the island and was made of spruce, a traditional building material.
“We felt very lucky that our beloved rabbi, Rabbi Matthew Gewirtz of Temple B’nai Jeshurun, was able to come to Fogo Island to officiate our ceremony,” Catherine says. “Jed and I are both very close with him as I studied with him for my conversion to Judaism. Rabbi Gewirtz also spoke beautifully about Jed's late father, whom he knew incredibly well. There was not a dry eye in the room.”
After the ceremony, guests moved straight to an outdoor cocktail hour overlooking the ocean. The raw bar featured Canadian oysters, mussels, caviar, and crudité, and passed plates included salted quail eggs, lamb croquettes, and salt cod. “It's a Fogo Island tradition for locals to do a gun salute for the newlyweds, which everyone got very into,” Catherine says.
