Rebecca Newell & Craig Lustman May 26th, 2011

* Wedding & Reception held in the gardens and estate of the Gramercy Mansion

Craig & Rebecca came to group dance class at the StudioDNA Canton location organized by their friend Julie which consisted of 10 couples. The rest is HISTORY! What an honor and privilege to meet, work with, and now call these two very special individuals, friends.

Becky & Craig, because of time issues and responsibilities, broke away from the group but promised to reconnect again. And, that they did! We met multiple times at the Canton & the Pikesville studios prior to the wedding. Sometimes just Craig alone to perfect his choreography and dance skills. This couple was not free from anxieties and stress....we could talk! In fact, Becky just graduated Medical School only a week before the wedding.

It wasn't long before Craig shared his new found joy of dance with his mother and father. Stan and Froma started coming for lessons to feel more at ease with each other while dancing and with themselves when they danced Freestyle to songs. We worked on Cha Cha, Swing, Foxtrot, and lots of Freestyle. We laughed, we teased and poked fun a bit too, but mostly we cherished these moments of time together. I mean that from deep inside my heart! I have not know Froma & Stan for more than a few weeks now, but I feel so welcomed, appreciated, and truly loved by these two amazing people. After meeting the rest of their family, and Becky's too, I can see how blessed Craig & Becky will be on their journey together.

These two have such strong love and affections towards one another. It is easy to see when you are near them. They are very genuine and unspoiled people and share their joy, knowledge, and selves with everyone they met. You cannot help but loose your breath at the sight of Rebecca. She is, for sure, one of the most beautiful women I have had the pleasure of knowing both aesthetically and within her heart and soul. Craig is such a Mensch (a person of high integrity and honor), a social butterfly, a motivated man to his faith, and quite easy on the eyes as well.

Mazel Tov to both the Lustman & Newell families and of course Becky & Craig!!!!!
