The wedding was solemnised as per the ‘Talmud’, book of Jewish rituals.

As the family had sought police protection to solemnise the wedding in the aftermath of the Mumbai terror attacks, there was heavy police presence in the premises, and only selected invitees were allowed to witness the wedding.

A metal detector was placed at the entrance of the synagogue, police said.

The family of Shelomo belong to the Thekkumbhagam congregation of the Cochin Jewish community and Susan from the Bene Israel (Sons of Israel) community in Mumbai, the synagogue sources said.

With many Jewish community members have migrated to Israel years ago, there are only 48 members left, 50 per cent of them in octogenarians.

The last Jewish wedding was held in 1987 here in the synagogue, noted for its mid-18th century hand painted willow patterned floor tiles from Cantum in China, Hebrew inscriptions on stone slabs, scrolls of the Old Testament and ancient scripts on copper plates.

Kano — TONGUE wagged freely yesterday in Kano over the absence of the immediate past Governor of Jigawa State, Senator Ibrahim Saminu Turaki at the wedding of Alhaji Sule Lamido.A high profile society wedding that attracted eminent Nigerians to Kano also saw every elected Jigawa representative and Lamido’s co-contestant in 2007 governorship battle, Senator Muhammad Ibrahim in attendance.

The concern about Turaki’s absence at the wedding was informed by a long standing relationship between him and the groom, Aminu Lamido despite the political correlation of the two major Jigawa gladiators.

Senator Turaki made headlines in several Nigerian media last June when he stormed Dutse, Jigawa capital in company of Lamido’s first son Aminu barely 13 months he handed over the reign of power through one of his senior aide.

Senator Turaki’s absence became noticeable at the venue of the lavish reception offered by the Lamidos for thousands of well-wishers at Alhaji Sule Lamido’s private office located in Sharada industrial estate.

A close associate told Vanguard on condition of anonymity that Turaki’s absence at the wedding was compelled by ’security reasons’, adding that his presence at the venue would have cause a “big distraction”.

He explained that, “We have witnessed several incidences in the past where the two political gladiators met in a forum and a supposed united political family broke into camps with supporters activities threatening the peace.”

Vanguard findings revealed that the relationship between Governor Lamido and Senator Turaki had since nose-dived following the latter’s effort to effect a change in the party executive constituted while he was cooling his feet at EFCC gulag in Kuje prison, Abuja.

A highly elated Governor Lamido who appears overwhelmed by the large turn out quality guest declined reporters inquest as he directed his Deputy, who also served as Finance Commissioner under Turaki, Alhaji Ahmad Muhammad to speak on his behalf.

Muhammad expressed happiness to Nigerians who turned up for the event, wishing them journey mercies.

MERRIMACK, N.H. (AP) - The lighting was extra romantic for a Merrimack, N.H., couple’s wedding, thanks to the ice storm that left their reception hall in the dark.

With a year of planning and a guest list of 100 people, Donna and Steve Webster decided to go ahead with their wedding Saturday despite the fact that the VFW hall where they celebrated afterward didn’t have power.

A neighboring business ran a few extension cords to the hall so they could play music and light up some Christmas trees for decoration, and candles provided the rest of the light.

*A rep for singer Marc Anthony is denying a flurry of rumors suggesting his marriage to Jennifer Lopez is at a “breaking point,” as one gossip rag put it.

      Reports of trouble in paradise began when Us magazine posted a story online this week noting that J.Lo attended a movie premiere without her 8-carat diamond engagement ring, her wedding band - or, for that matter, her husband.

      The story came in the wake of reports earlier this month that Anthony was spotted flirting with a woman at two New York City nightspots. The singer was also reportedly seen in Las Vegas this month without his wedding band.

      But Anthony’s rep said Wednesday that reports of a rough patch between the two are false.

       “They are doing great,” his spokeswoman Blanca Lasalle told Newsday. “Any comments implying that they are having problems and that Marc behaved in a questionable manner while out with friends last week are absolutely false.”       

       A spokeswoman for Lopez co-signed, stating of the couple: “They are fine.”      

       Us magazine’s story quoted a “close pal of Anthony’s” who claimed “He’s very, very controlling of her. The skirts aren’t as short. You don’t see so much of that booty anymore.”       

       The magazine also reported that Anthony picks out Lopez’s clothes and keeps tabs on her phone calls. But Lopez - who once claimed she “loved getting his opinions” - has become less interested in his approval since the birth of their twins, Max and Emme, the magazine said.      

       “She walks in from work, washes her hands and grabs the babies,” a “longtime friend” told Us. “With him, it’s almost like, ‘Ugh, they’re crying again?’”

“You don’t have to tell anyone,” Pratt told an intoxicated Montag. “It’s our secret marriage.”

But it was never much of a secret. The pair appeared on the Nov. 26 cover of Us Weekly with the headline “Heidi & Spencer Elope!” The accompanying story featured an interview with the pair and photos of the so-called impromptu ceremony, which the couple later acknowledged was symbolic, and not legally binding. The story didn’t note that they had never obtained a marriage license.

The ceremony itself wasn’t featured on Monday’s episode. Instead, the pair ogled themselves and their rings on a handheld video camera while lounging in a hotel bed the morning after the ceremony. Pratt told Montag he thought the tequila persuaded her to spontaneously get hitched. A preview for next week’s season finale features Montag, Pratt and Pratt’s sister walking into a courtroom.

“I can’t let you go and make this wedding legal,” Montag’s distraught mother tells Pratt in the teaser.

“Well, Heidi’s my wife,” Pratt responds. “So we’ll go to the courthouse, and make it legal, so you’ll be my mom.”
