ZANE - FEINMAN WEDDING

Miss Andrea Blair Zane & Mr. Blake Hamilton Feinman, of Houston, Texas, were united in marriage on Sunday, June 19, 2011, at 6:30 in the evening, at Four Seasons Hotel George V in Paris, France.  The intimate and romantic ceremony, attended by sixty-five guests, was officiated by Rabbi Tom Cohen of Paris, France. 

The bride is the daughter of Dr. & Mrs. Randall & Pamela Zane, of Corpus Christi, Texas.  She is the granddaughter of Mr. & Mrs. Irving & Marilyn Braslau, of Corpus Christi, Texas, and Dr. Alan Zane and the late Mrs. Sudy Zane, of Houston, Texas, and the late Mrs. Audrey Zane, of Corpus Christi, Texas.  The groom is the son of Mr. & Mrs. Ronald & Paula Feinman, of Houston, Texas.  He is the grandson of Mr. & Mrs. Philip & Edith Kligman, of Houston, Texas, and the late Mr. & Mrs. Louis & Florence Feinman of Massillon, Ohio. 

The maid of honor was the bride's younger sister, Miss Stacy Nicole Zane, and the best man was the groom's younger brother, Mr. Steven Elliott Feinman, both of Houston, Texas.  The wedding party proceeded to the chuppah as La Vie en Rose was performed by a trio of musicians, and then the bride's parents escorted her down the aisle to Unforgettable. 

All of the floral arrangements for the ceremony and reception were personally designed by Jeff Leatham, Artistic Director of the Four Seasons Hotel George V.  The bride carried an exquisite bouquet of white peonies, the white runner was lined by champagne roses and candles, and the beautiful chuppah was elaborately decorated with lavender roses, pink peonies, and purple hydrangeas and orchids. 

The bride's parents hosted a black-tie reception in the Salon Vendôme.  Cocktails and hors d'oeuvres were followed by a formal seated dinner and then dancing.  Chef Eric Beaumard, a two-Michelin star recipient, and Executive Chef Eric Briffard, composed and prepared the five-course menu.  Pastry Chef Lucien Gautier created two magnificent cakes, one a traditional four-tiered cake, decorated with fresh flowers and French macarons, and the other an extraordinary croquembouche, constructed of caramelized profiteroles and blown-sugar sculptures. 

 Andrea wore an elegant gown from Priscilla of Boston with a sweetheart neckline and a mermaid silhouette, accented with crystal beading around her waist.  She wore a diamond and sapphire heart-shaped necklace that belonged to her maternal great-grandmother.  Blake wore a custom designed ivory dinner jacket with a black shawl collar from Kleinfeld of New York, accompanied by formal black trousers. 

The evening before the wedding, the groom's parents hosted a private dinner cruise aboard the Yacht Bretagne where family & friends enjoyed the incredible sights of Paris along the Seine River.  The morning after the wedding, the bride's parents hosted a farewell brunch at Ladurée, Champs Elysees, a luxury French patisserie. 

 A legal ceremony was conducted the previous Sunday, June 12, 2011, at United Orthodox Synagogues in Houston, Texas, by Rabbi Joseph Radinsky and Cantor Irving Dean.  Following the ceremony, a family dinner was given by the groom's parents in the Garden Room at The Original Brenner's Steakhouse. 

After a three-week honeymoon through France, Italy, and Greece, the couple will reside in Houston, Texas, with their much loved pets, Zuri, a Rhodesian Ridgeback, and Mimi, a Brussels Griffon.
