of Weddings

W hile her mother and daughter shared stories in her well-lit
kitchen, Lisa Berkowitz, 60, came to the kitchen table with
two photo albums stacked on top of each other.

She rifled through the pages of the smaller album. There’s the
photo of her family from just two years ago, with her daugh-
ter Emily Fridberg, 33, in a wedding dress. There’s the photo of
Fridberg surrounded by her bridesmaids. Fridberg’s dress was
“funky,” with a comfortable fit and a top with a snakeskin-like pat-
tern, while her bridesmaids wore green dresses of different shades,
lengths and styles.

That’s something all three women had in common. They didn’t
make their bridesmaids wear identical gowns.

“We think a little bit out of the box,” said Berkowitz’s mother,
Barbara Boroff, 83.
